Thank you very much for the help. The problem was that I didn't have a
mailman mailing list and I needed to start the mailmanctl daemon.
I wasn't aware of these changes to Mailman.
I have a new question, though. Where should I put the
"/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/bin/mailmanctl start" command in FreeBSD so
that it starts on boot?
TIA,
Darren
