[Mailman-Users] fatal: execvp /var/mailman/mail/mailman

[Eric Beda]

Hi,

I've realised my mistake, apparently mailman was installed in
/usr/lib/mailman instead of /var/mailman, since i had just copied and
pasted the /etc/aliases file it saw some conflict there, i didn't know
what version was installed prior to my install

Thanks for the help guyz...
