[Mailman-Users] mailman not posting (using postfix w/ RH 8)

[ghhalley]

Howdy Paul,

Is mailmanctl running?

mailmanctl needs to be running to push the qfiles through the system.

>From the Mailman directory type "bin/mailmanctl start"

and check it by "ps -e"  You will probably see the mailmanctl and you
will definitely see ~6 python daemons.

Peace,
G
