[Mailman-Users] Gentoo, mailman and the module named paths

2003-07-28 Thread Whit Blauvelt
Hi, I've done a manual install of mailman on a system running the current Gentoo. mailmanctl start gives the dreaded No module named paths error. I've seen the README.linux attribution of this problem to not having installed Python from tar - but Gentoo's portage system is Python-based, and its

Okay, after an old Gentoo server died that was running mailman happily for years with sendmail, I rebuilt things on Ubuntu using a stock postfix with a custom-compiled mailman. The web interface all looks fine - the lists and their users are there - and the aliases are in place. But mail coming in
