[Mailman-Users] Messages not posting

[Angelo Bonadonna]

Strike that!  It does seem to be a cron problem, though I still don't know how to fix it.  Once I gave the queue command:

/usr/local/Python-2.0/python -S /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mailman/cron/qrunner

all the messages got sent.  But why isn't my mailman crontab file working, and why aren't the messages being sent immediately, instead of being queued?

But I'm greatly relieved to have found the problem, or at least a way to fix it (with a different cron approach (e.g., using /etc/crontab) than the installed file??).  Angelo

>Hi--I've got what seems to be a common problem:  Everything seems to be working fine, but messages won't get sent--and there are no error messages (in mailman/logs or /var/log/maillog).  I'm pretty sure the aliases, wrapper, etc. are all correct and in working order.

>There are files in mailman/qfiles. I checked to be sure crontab was installed.  /var/log/maillog says the mail was sent.  (BTW: is there anyway to manually send queued messages?)

>(Note:  I've gotten this same set of versions of software to work on a backup box I experiment with.  I'm pretty convinced I have a sendmail problem, though I don't know what it could be.  Sendmail is indeed functioning for _most_ of its other purposes.  It works fine, e.g., in sending list creation and subscription notices.)  Help!  Angelo
