[Mailman-Users] mailman installation gone wild

[Eric Alan Solo]

Hey,

Thanks for the response,
I was chatting with some guys in the irc channel who helped me a bit,
I'm now able to access the web interface.
Also I was able to send a message from the console, so now I need to
figure out why none of the mailman mails are being delivered.

Cheers
Eric
