Changed to the suggested 3,0,3-3,2,3 and suddenly all the "missing"
email came through. <smack forehead>

I've got just 2 more problems left (I hope).

1) Invitation/subscription confirmation emails go out with a link in
this format: http://lists.domain2.net/confirm/test/526cfbe0f5e7836315ee5f17444aaae885500318

lists.domain2.net is a virtual host and listed in mm_cfg.py.

Is this easily patched post or pre compile or is it a bit more complex
than that?

2) If I set the list to have private archives it works perfectly, but
if I select public archives I get a forbidden error and this in my
apache logs:
Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible:
/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/lists.domain2.net/test

===lists.domain1.net apache vhost file===

FollowSymLinks is enabled and permissions on the link and actual folder are:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data mailman   55 2010-02-05 18:10 test ->
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/lists.cantab.net/test/
drwxrwsr-x 5 root    mailman 3896 2010-02-05 17:34
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/lists.cantab.net/test/
drwxrwsr-x 2 root    mailman 3896 2010-02-05 13:07
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/lists.cantab.net/test.mbox/

Any idea whether this is a permissions problem or should I be poking
more deeply into my apache config? Root allows override on everything
so it didn't seem like that was the problem to me. As always I'm quite
possibly wrong there...

Thanks, I really appreciate all the help!
