Mailing lists doesn't work

E

Hi to all!

I have up to date Plesk 8.0.1 on a FD4 with DrWeb & Spam assassin.

I create a new mailing list, (I checked the option "Notify administrator of the mailing list creation"). The mailing list are created with out any error, and I can login to the Mailman interface under lists.mydomain.com. I add some members to the list over plesk interface and I look at mailman to see if they are created correctly. All right up to here.

But when I send and email from a member email to the list, the list didn't process it. I look to the list archive, pending moderator requests, etc... and there isn't anything. And don't recive too the email "Notify administrator of the mailing list creation".

What I can do???


Thanks.
 
I have the same problems with Plesk 8.0.1 on FreeBSD 4.11.

Anyone else having problems or can point me to solution?

Thanks,

Ok think you are having some right trouble.
Please post:
ps axu |grep mailman
 
/etc/init.d/mailman start

after that

ps axu |grep mailman

OK, found the mailman process at:

/usr/local/psa/rc.d/mailman start

now when I run the ps axu | grep mailman

I get the following:

I received 2 emails for approval of messages that weren't from a list member and then I sent out a message from an account on the list and the message was delivered.

Thanks for your help!
 
please check if mailman starts on reboot through chkconfig
 
pdreissen thanks for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.
 
Why isn't mailman started automatically?

Why isn't there a mailman entry in the Plesk service list?
