[Mailman-Users] Mailman not sending - Solved(?)

[bronto at csd-bes.net]

Thanks for your corrections and tips.

I made the changes, and it still didn't work.  I read the thread you 
referenced, and verified that my permissions and users were correct.

I then went back to look at my dns and machine settings, and found that 
my host name had reverted back to the machine name, not the full name I 
changed to it to previously that "fixed" the problem.  So it wasn't 
that it was working for just one list and not others, it was that the 
fix that I previously made reverted before I tested other mailing 
lists.  When I changed it back again, all the files in the retry queue 
flushed and I got a bunch of messages delivered on serveral lists.

I'm running SuSE 9.2; maybe there's a process running somewhere that is 
doing this.  I know there are processes that keep permissions and other 
settings in sync.  If this reverts again, I think the logical solution 
would be to find where SuSE is deciding what hostname to use and change 
it, or to change mm-cfg to match the hostname that SuSE wants to use.
