[Mailman-Users] Mailman has stopped sending messages

[John DeCarlo]

David,

Did you check that your site list, "mailman", is still there?

Can you restart Mailman?

One thing that can bite people is if some part of the Mailman 
configuration changes.  Mailman needs to be restarted before it works 
with the new configuration.  Yet the Linux box may run for months 
without being rebooted, and when it does get rebooted, say because of a 
power outage, only then does the misconfiguration problem cause Mailman 
to stop working.
