[Mailman-Users] distributing of the mail is not ok
Hi, I installed mailman. I created a mailing list to test if mailman works fine or not. Well, mailman seems alsmot to work but there is just a problem. Let's assume, I have a mailing list : test. And the mail used for this mailing list is [EMAIL PROTECTED], the members have to send their mails at [EMAIL PROTECTED], sure, this email exists, but if a member sends a mail to this address, the mail sticks with the folder of the email (/var/spool/vmail/lists.mydomain.tld/test/new/), and so the email is not distributed to the list. I didn't find a solution, I think this is a problem with the configuration... Any ideas? I'm running debian etch.

** Reply to note from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:43:00 +0200 Mostly working now, but the mailing list public archives are show as forbidden in my browser. The data is actually there in the folders, stored in private and symlinked to public. I've run permissions check and everything is OK (it says). What's my trouble? When I browse to the pipermail folder it doesn't even list the public private folders. Public (at least) is set to read by all. Who owns the folders? They (and contents) need to be readable by the user under which the web server runs. I was bitten by this last week...

[Mailman-Users] URGENT Help required -suddenly some of the Umbrella lists is going unmoderated
Dear All, Please help Thursday I created two cross posts (umbrealla lists) se-mf_se-drm and se-wes_se-drm. When around 5:00 Resource team started posting the messages in these lists, they found that messages are going without moderation. They reported me. I checked the mailman seetings and found that By default, should new list member postings be moderated? setting was set to No which I corrected to yes. So, till Friday evening everything was ok. Then suddenly, on Friday evening, again only se-mf_se-drm resource team reported that it their message again went moderated. I again checked the settings. But this time, settings were correct. To handle the emergency, we had to delete that list. Now, today, again one cross post se-mch_aids-se message went unmoderated. We had to remove all members from this list. I request you to please give attention to this concern as there are many cross posts lists are running and if same problem gets replicated there then it will be a huge pronlem. Please suggest how to handle this situation and sort out this.
