[Mailman-Users] Mailman Newbie having set up problems

[ghhalley]

Thanks for the help,

OK mailmanctl was not running.  I started it up and got a confirmation
message.

It should have been running, as the the Mailman init.d files are already
set to run.

Is mailmanctl daemon always on?  Should I see it with ps -e at all
times?

What is its purpose?  I thought the Mailman wrapper was the major
program -- is this just a traffic manager and logger?  or does it do
greater functions?

Is mailmanctl running?  This is different than the way the qrunners worked
in 2.0.x, where they ran from a cron job.  They now are run via the
mailmanctl daemon.

I don't think so, usually if that's the case you see smrsh errors.

I guess that's possible.  If mailmanctl is indeed started, look for clues
in the mailman logs directory.
