[Mailman-Users] Strangely mailman stopped sending outgoing email

[Scott Race]

I had this same thing happen to me last week - i had permissions  
issues on my aliases files (weird - host loaded OS updates and  
permissions got jacked up) and then restarting mailman fixed for me -  
I did also see errors in /var/log/maillog

The command I use restart mailman is
/etc/init.d/mailman restart
