First of all, I've install Mailman a quite a few Red Hat 9 systems and I've never seen this behavior. Did you install from the RPM's? and follow the advice from: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg18611.html Most importantly, try running "/var/mailman/bin/check_perms -f" Assuming your install is correct (and you haven't applied any patches that you didn't tell us about), lets get more information about what is going on... - Check your MTA (sendmail) logs and see if it's sending a lot of mail, especially local mail to "mailman". - What do you get when run: grep mailman /etc/aliases - Are there any messages in the Queues? To check the Queues, - Stop mailman: service mailman stop - cd /var/mailman/qfiles - ls * If there are any messages in the queues you will see them listed out as pairs of files (with really huge nonsensical names - date.time+MTAqname) Here is an example from a test install I run. It has three messages in the queue: 1063940316.823126+7e222a98096d06bd97f15e251156679fdb034db8.db 1063940316.823126+7e222a98096d06bd97f15e251156679fdb034db8.msg 1063991848.0743411+580b8cae276cdbaf50591b5d78fcfbc789031ae5.db 1063991848.0743411+580b8cae276cdbaf50591b5d78fcfbc789031ae5.msg 1063991975.730075+0951a3980aae459eb47a4aacef8f64953fc128bd.db 1063991975.730075+0951a3980aae459eb47a4aacef8f64953fc128bd.msg The original message should be in text stored in the *.msg file.
