I've read Jon Carnes's FAQ on what to check.  It was very helpful, but I still have 
the problem of no mail.

I'm running RH 7.3, and sendmail 8.x with the latest mailman downloaded from the site.

Now, after doing all of Jon Carnes's suggestions I find that:

1.  check_perms is OK.
2.  aliases all present
3.  newaliases run
4.  smrsh is running and wrapper is set correcly
5.  it is listening on 0.0.0.0
6.  qrunner is OK
7.  no locks present
8.  checked all the logs and no erors.  maillog shows that the mail is sent.  No 
bounces in that log.  smtp-failure shows the users sending mail but appends (ignore) 
after each of them.

Now, here's the weird part.  The lists started to spontaneously work last Friday.  A 
user subscribed, and had forgotten to turn off their "out-of-office" auto-reply.  So, 
they "spammed" the list and it started to work, but not the digest options.  This 
lasted until Saturday evening (the "spam" ended at 4 pm Friday when I unsubscribed 
them).  Then the lists stopped working again.  As a test I tried "spamming" the test 
list the instructions have us set up.  This time it took appoximately 100 messages 
before anything started, and it only lasted for a few hours.  Again, no que files and 
while messages came out the digest options did not work.

Anybody have ideas?  I'd rather not spam the lists to get them to work.  Also, is 
there any way to clean out just parts of the archives to remove the "spam"?

Thanks,
