--with-mailhost= is the domain to which you address list mail. Do you
really send your list mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In your previous posts, your mail host was lists.gforge.geoplp.de

What special entries are you looking for? What you have is an mm_cfg.py
from a fresh install. Did you have a previous mm_cfg.py at
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py? If so, it shouldn't have been
overwritten, but if it was somewhere else, it's still there.

According to the aliases you previously posted, your prior mailman was
in /var/lib/mailman. Do you now have two Mailman installations, one in
/var/lib/mailman with lists and appropriate sendmail aliases and one
in /usr/local/mailman with no lists and no sendmail aliases?

What do you mean your Mailman doesn't run? Please be more specific.

Do you have the 'mailman' site list in your new installation. Did you
run

bin/mailmanctl start

Note that your original problem was with sendmail, not with Mailman, so
installing Mailman from source can't be expected to fix it.
