I thought I had accidentally done this change myself, but if you're seeing it too, I suggest you reopen.

I do *not* receive these messages from the list. Of course I subscribed with two different accounts to see the messages.
Is mailman running? Check the mail log, are the mails being sent?
yes, as you can see http://culte.org/pipermail/linux-31/2012-February/thread.html the archives are created, but no mail is sent to the list members. how can I debug this? may be simply a bad variable somewhere! I can send and receive mail from and to the server (thunderbird at home, mailx on the server) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That isn't mailman, that is pipermail.
the archives are created, but no mail is sent to the list members.
What does the mail log show?

Run "newaliases". This could be your problem - I'm pretty certain a normal mailman installation will update your mail aliases.
do mailman use an other port than postfix (25)? (could be a firewall problem??)
No, mailman is only the list manager, postfix remains as the MTA. For delivery, Postfix will call mailman scripts via the aliases file. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I did this several times, but the mailman aliases.db don't seems affected. I wonder how it is managed

I even verify I can send a mail as mailman user (with mailx) but still the list manager do not send me mails I also followed this page http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/4.78+Troubleshooting-+No+mail+going+out+to+... without luck I subscribed the mailman list, but seems it's moderated, I received no mail thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

"newaliases" only manages the aliases specified with postfix::alias_database. Depending on how openSUSE has set this up, the mailman aliases.db could be fixed, but it might be updated by mailman whenever you change the list configuration. In the latter case, postfix will notice the change and automatically reload it. Check that the mailman alias is in fact part of your postfix config. Check postfix::alias_maps.

some time silent beacause a reboot didn't allow the network to restart on the server. Glad it was a virtual server and the host still worked, so I could fix this, after much work. For whatever reason, ipv6 forgived the network start (but only since the last start, few days ago). But this do not makes mailman work better, still investigating (the aliases) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
French readers can follow my work here http://dodin.org/wordpress/?p=13 I subscribed the mailman-user mailing list and posted there but the first posts are moderated, so not yet published jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
just a note to say I could install mailman on an other server (11.4, if this have any importance) and it works without problem. so I will asap redo all the config on the 12.1 one to see if this solve the problem thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
problem solved. as dumb as we could think. For any unknown reason, SuSEconfig thought that mm_cfg.py was hand modifyed and did not write it, but wrote his file next to it. once I found it and replaced the default one by the openSUSE one, all started as needed I will soon comment the wiki page thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
