[Mailman-Users] new install/email confirmation not working

[Christopher Adams]

There is nothing in the logs.

It turns out that Postfix is not accepting any mail from outside our domain.
I have messed around with it and Googled and so forth and the only possible
solution that I see is to delete Sendmail and Postfix and recompile from
source. It was from a Red Hat installation and it appears that maybe RH did
something unconventional with the Postfix compile. We'll see.
