[Mailman-Users] Problem with a mailman list setup

[Matthew Farr]

Yes, the other lists are working.

I can see some of these aliases in virtual-mailman and virtual-mailman.db --
but there is a warning not to edit these files. Actually, one functioning
list isn't in either of these files, which makes me think there is a
separate aliases file elsewhere...

OK, same directory I see aliases. This file does have my new list of aliases
(which I did NOT enter manually):

# STANZA START: risingsun
# CREATED: Tue Jan 22 11:15:27 2008
risingsun:             "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post risingsun"
risingsun-admin:       "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin risingsun"
risingsun-bounces:     "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces risingsun"
risingsun-confirm:     "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm risingsun"
risingsun-join:        "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join risingsun"
risingsun-leave:       "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave risingsun"
risingsun-owner:       "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner risingsun"
risingsun-request:     "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request risingsun"
risingsun-subscribe:   "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe risingsun"
risingsun-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe
risingsun"
# STANZA END: risingsun

However, the aliases.db DOES NOT include any of this information. Is there a
way I can edit this file? Do I need to? Could this be my problem?

Matt

Do the other lists on the site work?

It appears there are no aliases for the new list.  If the MTA is Postfix and
it is 'integrated' with Mailman, the generation of aliases should be
automatic. Otherwise, you may need to manually add the 10 required aliases
for the list to /etc/aliases or wherever they go and run postalias or
newaliases or whatever.
