[Mailman-Users] sendmail and mm-handler woes - SOLVED

[Kevin McNamee]

Hi,

It was a permissions problem. mm-handler had a different owner to what was
specified in the sendmail.cf. When I changed this everything worked.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards,
Kevin.

In the sendmail case they never reach mailman. They are not in the
digest.mbox and there is no log activity. I should also say that in the
sendmail case, if I turn on DEBUG in mm-handler then I do get a DEBUG
response from mm-handler. I will continue to investigate.

I am approving via web. The are held because I am not a member. I guess I
can add myself now, since the foobar list is working properly (compared to
testlist).

check_perms did not complain before or after I did the chown.
