[Mailman-Users] Not getting aliases, owner notification on newlist

Hi all, hope someone can help... I've been using Mailman 2.1.6 for some time now that I happily compiled and installed from source on my own server. Now I've needed to move to another server and at first I took the opportunity to upgrade to 2.1.9. But the OutgoingRunner NEVER worked -
