The server isn't creating the list alias correctly.
When I try to subscribe, the confirmation message bounces
back to me.  Ugh.

I finally determined where to fix my problem.  As you 
might remember, I was having trouble with a basic installation
of Mailman on my Redhat Linux 7.1 box.

While sendmail was working on it's own....  Mailman was not
sending mail through that particular MTA.  After creating a
new group, it wasn't sending a confirmation email to the list
owner (me).

The fix:
I added this line to my mm_cfg.py file:
DELIVERY_MODULE	= 'Sendmail'

It defaults to:
DELIVERY_MODULE	= 'SMTPDirect'


There is also a warning concerning the use of the Sendmail
module.  I'd rather use the default config, but, I can't get
it to work correctly.

Does this lead some of you to a possible reason why SMTPDirect
might not work?  I have no clue.  Seems like it's checking for
something and not getting what it needs....
