I'm using Postfix Mail Server 2.5.1 now.
I use webmin to check mailman account, and found that all mails, I have
sent before, are in the mailbox, which was NOT piped to Mailman.

Well, did u mean configurations in httpd.conf?

I have added this in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Thanks for this link, yeah, it must be something wrong here.

Step 1:
I have checked ~mailman/bin/check_perms, and found some permission
issue. So I use sudo to correct these problems, until I got 

> $ sudo bin/check_perms 
> No problems found

After this, I have found that
http://palfocus.oicp.net/pipermail/mailman/ is forbidden, 403 error.


Step 2:
$ ps auxww| grep mailmanctl |grep -v grep
<blank>
$ ps auxww | egrep 'p[y]thon'
<blank>

So I just run following commands to get qrunner running.
$ sudo bin/mailmanctl start
Starting Mailman's master qrunner.
daniel at palfocus:/var/www/mailman$ ps auxww | egrep 'p[y]thon'

Step 3: It seems correct
$ grep mailman /etc/aliases
## mailman mailing list
#mailman:              "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
#mailman-admin:        "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
#mailman-bounces:      "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
#mailman-confirm:      "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
#mailman-join:         "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
#mailman-leave:        "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
#mailman-owner:        "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
#mailman-request:      "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
#mailman-subscribe:    "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe
mailman"
#mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe
mailman"

Step 4: It seems OK.
$ ls -l ./locks
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 61 2009-03-18 02:23 master-qrunner
-rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 61 2009-03-18 02:23
master-qrunner.palfocus.oicp.net.20440


Step 5:
$ ps aux |grep 20440 |grep -v grep
mailman  20440  0.0  1.8  10180  4816 ?        Ss   20:23
0:00 /usr/bin/python bin/mailmanctl start


Well, I'm NOT expert on this. I think I can just find some easy
problems. So I put all steps that I have done here.
But After this, the problem still exists.

Please help me on this. Any hint or advice is mostly appreciated. So I
can just follow instructions to find out what's wrong with the server.


I use sendmail and Fedora 5 last time. But I have found that it is
different this time.
