[Mailman-Users] Current stump (newbie)

[William D. Tallman]

Back at trying to set this up after several days.

Done previously:

1) Set up mailman group, and added 'mailman' as user in that group.

2) Created /usr/local/mailman:
	drwxrwsr-x  20 root    mailman 4096 2006-04-26 20:11 .
Done today:

3) Recompiled with: ./configure --with-mail-gid="daemon"
--with-mailhost="olypen.com" --with-urlhost="localhost"

4) Ran 'make install' with no hitches, ran 'check_perms' which returned
no problems.

5) As user "mailman" in /usr/local/mailman, ran 'bin/mailmanctl start'
and got canonical response.

So I should be up and running, I would think.

I've two email addresses for this list, and will do all list configuring
manually from command line, a KISS operation.  One address is for list
activity and the other is for requests for membership, etc.  No web
page.

Next, I sent a test email to the list address, and this is what
/var/log/maillog recorded:

[The machine name is mailhost.locallan.]

-----------------------------
That's the end of the grunner log file.  Note that no activity is
recorded for the time period of the maillog.

And no mail is sent back out, apparently, because none is received by
the list subscriber.

Now, I've already demonstrated my abysmal ignorance of this stuff in
previous comments, but I'd sure like to get this running if I can.  Is
there enough information here to diagnose this situation?  If not, what
can I provide?

I really appreciate the knowledge and assistance here!  Thanks for
reading and I hope to comprehend all responses ;)

Thanks,

Bill Tallman
