So, "locate mm_cfg.py" and sure enough there are two separate mailman folders; /usr/share/mailman and /usr/local/mailman . Yes indeed, I had edited the wrong file. Don't know where the duplicate came from, I think this server was upgraded from OS X Server 10.3, perhaps there was an old installation. Long story short, edited the correct copy of mm_cfg.py and restarted, all works well again. Thanks so much for your help. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
