[Mailman-Users] Something strange with list-admin

I'm hoping someone can help me out here.  I've got a list running, seems
to be running fine in that people can post to the  list without problems
(well, HTML mail causes issues, but that's not a list issue), web
interface is running splendidly and all that, but, something strange  is
going on with the -admin alias.  My setup involves Redhat 7.0.,
sendmail, and Mailman 2.0.1.  The strange thing that I'm seeing is that
fetchmail downloads mail for the list-admin address, and hands it off to
the mailman address/alias, which then seems to go nowhere. Here's what
the  maillog shows:


May 15 18:15:15 localhost fetchmail[8189]: 1 message for list at
mail.ahnet.net (2535 octets). 
May 15 18:15:18 localhost fetchmail[8189]: reading message 1 of 1 (2535
octets) 
May 15 18:15:19 localhost sendmail[8202]: f4FMFIj08202:
from=<list-admin at lincproject.org>, size=2531, class=-60, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200105152213.f4FMD1j08178 at localhost.localdomain>, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=IDENT:root at localhost.localdomain [216.233.22.3]
May 15 18:15:19 localhost fetchmail[8189]:  flushed 
May 15 18:15:20 localhost sendmail[8203]: f4FMFIj08202:
to="|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post list", ctladdr=<list at localhost>
(8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=138417,
dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

and that's the end of that.  The message, or at least what appears to be
a message just disappears, it doesn't go to the list as the hand off to
the wrapper seems to indicate, it doesn't get sent to list admins for
moderation, and it appears no where in queues or anything like that.  If
anyone has any ideas on what' happening, I'd really appreciate it.

thanks,

-arif
