Hello,

This is my first mail to this list, fogive me if i miss some 
netiquette :-(

I have the problem in subject (No mail going out to lists members) on 
a new mailman install, using openSUSE 12.1 server

mailman receives mails and archive them:

http://culte.org/pipermail/linux-31/2012-February/thread.html

I scanned all the instructions in the page

http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/4.78+Troubleshooting-+No+mail+going+out+to+lists+members

without finding any problem, but I may have misunderstood some part of 
it as this did not fix my problems.

I documented my work here (sorry, in french) 
http://dodin.org/wordpress/?p=13

last thing I did is scan the mailman log messages.

In openSUSE, mailman is spread between ~mailman in the usual 
/var/lib/mailman place and /usrLib/mailman. MTA postfix (perfectly 
running, I can send a mail from the mailman account)

I blanked out the log files (renaming the log folder, creating a new 
one and using check_perm to fix the permissions)

I send a message to the linux-31 mailing list, I got this error message:

Feb 20 10:27:58 2012 (10832) Uncaught runner exception: Use of the 
Sendmail.py delivery module is highly discouraged

1329730077.990159+731f2f19a770d9f674f4bc34e0d3328b894fc605

grunner logs say:
Feb 20 10:26:13 2012 (10832) OutgoingRunner qrunner started.

NOTICE:
I tried to paste the mailman aliases in /etc/alias, because this 
looked like an alias problem.

doing so I got an answer from mailman saying

<linux-31 at culte.org>: Command died with status 2:
     "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post linux-31". Command output: 
Failure to
     exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 65533.

so I reverted to the dual alias system where I have already
mailman:        root
mailman-owner:  mailman


any idea?

thanks
jdd
