Hi Mark,
I found the problem.
After the installation, I configured the file:
/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
To store the data, lists and archives in external filesystem (now they
are commented because I solved in another way)
#DATA_DIR = '/data/mailman/data'
#PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = '/data/mailman/archives/public'
#PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_FILE_DIR = '/data/mailman/archives/private'
#LIST_DATA_DIR = '/data/mailman/lists'
It seems that this configuration is completely ignored.
Anyway I solved restoring the default configuration, coping the
/var/lib/mailman content
into /data/mailman and linking the /var/lib/mailman to /data/mailman.
In this way everything works, but the question remain:
is it normal that the mm_cfg.py is ignored?
Do I configured it in a bad way?
Thank you.
Bests,
Luca M.

If I do:

9 matching mailing lists found:
Mailman - The site list
Testlist - [no description available]

Testlist2 - [no description available]
Testlist3 - [no description available]
Testlist4 - [no description available]
Testlist5 - [no description available]
Testlist7 - [no description available]
so now I would remove Testlist10 for example:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin> ./rmlist Testlist10
Not removing archives. Reinvoke with -a to remove them.
testlist10 list info not found as /var/lib/mailman/lists/testlist10
/usr/lib/mailman/bin> ./rmlist testlist10
Not removing archives. Reinvoke with -a to remove them.
testlist10 list info not found as /var/lib/mailman/lists/testlist10
So it is not removed.
More over:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin> ls -ls /var/lib/mailman/lists/
total 4
4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Jan 22 15:25 mailman
But the web interface still show that list and allow me to manage that.
This is a bit of a mystery. My first thought is you have two Mailman
installs and the one in /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman is not the
one your web server is accessing. This may be true, but it's more
complicated than that because /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists sees the
lists but /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist thinks lists are in
/var/lib/mailman/lists/ and they aren't there.
How did you create the lists? Via the web or with
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist or ??
Where does your web server look for Mailman CGIs (ScriptAlias in Apache)?
What does 'ls -l /usr/lib/mailman /var/lib/mailman' show?
