[tslug] Mailman config problem

Title: Mailman config problem
Hi, all.

     Moodle (the open-source alternative to Blackboard) is up and running on the new Moodle server, but before I make it available for general use, I'm going to wait to upgrade to the new version of Moodle, which is supposed to be available in the next week or two.

     In the meantime, while I'm waiting around, I've installed the Mailman listserv program, and I've successfully created a new list using the "newlist" command ("newlist -o /etc/aliases test [EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd" where I entered an admin password in place of 'passwd').  Here are the aliases newlist created in the /etc/aliases file:

## test mailing list
## created: 06-Mar-2004 root
test:                    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request:            "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
test-owner:              test-admin

     For some reason, though, when someone tries subscribing to the list "test," the confirmation e-mail message that's supposed to get sent to them doesn't get delivered.  I, on the other hand, keep getting e-mailed with the following error message:

From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 07 15:08:02 2004
Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q ; fi

2004-03-07 15:08:01 1AzpMV-00066s-00 Neither the system_aliases director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test

     Any suggestions on what I need to change to get the mail working?  (For starters, how did that "|" pipe symbol get into the lines that the newlist command wrote to the aliases file?)  Thanks for any info you might have.
