[Mailman-Users] Troubleshooting: No messages going out under Mandrake 9 (AR_mini)

[Jon Carnes]

Hmmm... Try this: create a test email message in a text file and pipe it
to wrapper to see what happens.

=== TestMessage.txt === 
Received: from localhost by Bogus; Sun, 15 Dec 2002 11:10:09-0500
From: jonc at nc.rr.com
To: test2 at list.local.com
Date: 15 Dec 2002 11:10:09-0500
Subject: Manual feed of email into list

This is my test email's body
=== End of TestMessage.txt ===

Save this to a local text file, replace the "test2 at list.local.com" with
your lists email address and then:

  su mailman
  cat TestMessage.txt | /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test2

If that works then there should be some files in ~mailman/qfiles/.. (or
if the message is waiting for moderation in ~mailman/data/..).  The
Mailman logs should also have a record of the message being posted.

If the message doesn't go out, and no logs are changed, and there are no
waiting files that were created, then I suspect that you should start
from ground zero.  Re-install Python and Python-dev on your box then
re-install Mailman.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes.
