[Mailman-Users] Posts to list returned

[Steven **]

Well, I added those for my new list and then ran "newaliases".  Posts
are no longer bounced, but they still aren't going out to list
members.  I checked the mailman logs and can't find anything
associated with the post attempt.  I also checked what I believe are
the sendmail logs (/var/log/mail.*) and didn't find anything there
either.  The last entry in the logs is me running "newaliases".  Where
else should I look for the error?
