I've had mailman running for years and have only recently started having
some delivery problems with it. I originally chalked it up to a
particular set of users within the one list that I am on (we host a
bunch of lists for others), but, after some investigation, I have been
unable to narrow
I did some further analysis and discovered that the messages (with the
same message ID) were showing up in the ps output as processing from
queue. Digging a little further, I tried killing off the sendmail
processes that were processing those requests, and I saw the following
appear in the
Well, a couple of places to look would be in:
/var/mailman/logs/smtp
/var/mailman/logs/smtp-failure
/var/mailman/qfiles/out, in, shunt
/var/log/maillog
If things are backed up, you should see the outbound messages piling up
in the out folder.
Any errors, for what they are, should be in
Damn Gentoo stuck it elsewhere. Searching.
I know what you mean.. Fedora sticks 'em in /var/log/mailman.. For key
tools such as this one (mailman), I tend to lean towards rolling my own..

Assuming you are using en as the list language and standard templates,
can you take a look at the file

Yup.. it is there..
This is where the results of the quick_maketext() on

Can you confirm you mean that the per-list htdig directories of the
following form are being created:
$prefix/archives/private/listname/htdig are being created
and that inside each of them there is a file named listname.conf
Is there also a file called rundig_last_run and a bunch of ,db
I realize this has come up often in the list, but hit a snag and was not
sure where else to turn. I couldn't find much in the archives that
addressed this, but if it is a duplicate, please accept my apologies.
I've applied the htDig patches :

Now, I just have to go through and migrate the existing lists. :)
Hopefully, that won't be too difficult. :)
Thanks for all of your help!

I have finally nailed down the SPEC file for proper full installation of mailman
2.1. For those that want the binary, it can be grabbed from:
ftp://ftp.wesmo.com/pub/redhat/i386/mailman-2.1-1.i386.rpm
The Source RPM can be grabbed from here:
This is probably a quick one, but I thought I would mail it out to the list. I
did check the archives, but didn't have much luck.
We are running 2.0.13 and I took on the task of upgrading to 2.1. Our RH-based
server is running Sendmail (8.12.7) and happily chugging along managing a few

I rolled an RPM earlier today. If anyone finds it useful, feel free to use it.

Just to close this out, the cronjobs get installed as part of the RPM
installation which explains why it is not on the checklist.

running under a separate user
(other than root), and the differentiation between processes that handle
the receiving of mail and the delivering of mail certainly adds to the
security of the system.

I posted recently about my troubles with getting sendmail 8.12.1 and Mailman 2.0.6 to

Right now, the two are working happily together, BUT, mail to any of the lists keeps
looping for ever and ever. I watched the qfile
This is going to sound stupid, but, with Sendmail's new MSP configuration, I have been
