Mailman - Sendmail problem

[swangdb]

Okay, I removed the "DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail`" line from mm_cfg.py
and used the default "DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'" and it now it
worked,  I sent a message to the mailing list and received a copy.

This was probably right in front of me the whole time.
