ok I've carried out some more investigation into this. the 3 emails i set up to test all forwarded to my google mail account.
I have now set up one of them as a seperate pop3 address one as a forward to that address and one as a forward to my google mail account. The pop3 one receives no problem the forward to that address again no problem the one that forwards to google message never arrives. So i added my google mail account to the list. And again no mail comes through. Now my registration for the Mailman-users list comes into my google mail no problem so there is something to do with the set up of my mail man that won't let it send to google. Anybody else have this problem, i could go ahead and launch but the problem is i know that at least 2 of the people who will be on the final list use google mail. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dragon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 8, 2006 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem with non-digest mode To: Peter Edley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, mailman mailing list <mailman-users@python.org> Peter Edley sent the message below at 13:26 9/8/2006: >Thanks for the reply, i would have thought if that wasn't running then >it wouldn't send out the digest ones as well, but this is what i get, >have a look at let me know what you think. > >mailman 14045 0.0 0.0 8088 5412 ?

The sending of digests is handled by the senddigests script in the cron directory, I am not sure exactly how it sends things but I don't think it uses the outgoing qrunner. I could be mistaken on that and I am sure one of the more knowledgeable members will correct me if I am wrong. Have you tried a restart of mailman? The outgoing process is running but that does not necessarily mean that it is "awake" and able to process anything. To troubleshoot further, we will need more info. Have you examined the qrunner, post, vette, smtp, and error logs? On your system they should be located in /var/mailman/logs If the posts are getting to your MTA, you will need to look at its logs to see if you can find anything there.
