After looking at your alias question below I realize that -- no, it
was not going through mailman (see below)

I did not realize it -- but I did.  Apparently the ISP set it up to
send mailman to root -- and -- later I sent root to my address on the
local servers local and then directed my email address to the gmail
account.

OK, things  are normal, a new set of problems have arrived.... :-)
When I fixed the mailman alias ie. set it to mailman -- the mail
started to arrive in the mailman spool folder.  Of course it just sits
there instead of being processed so I have to go chase that problem
down now....  At least I am seeing a trail of where it stops instead
of just nothing happening......

Two questions:

I set the mailman alias to "mailman: mailman".  Is that correct?

When I set up mailman,  it automatically set the   DEFAULT_NNTP_HOST,
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and   DEFAULT_URL_HOST -- all to
"fos.<my.domain>.com" which  is the 'hostname/domainname' of my server
hardware.  I changed the email to "<my.domain>.com" and the URL_host
to "lists.<my.domain>.com" (the vhost.d config file server name) and
left the NNTP_HOST the way it was.  Should I have left all settings at
"fos.<my.domain>.com" like mailman suggested?

I agree.  I will get back to you if I hit another snag in the instalation saga.

Thanks for your help
