Debian Mailman broken and undocumented
I downloaded and installed Mailman from Debian from potato stable.
There seems to be no Debian readme for this package.
It's broken, too: From the Mailman site I learned to
add a ScriptAlias and Exec lines to httpd.conf (the
latter unacceptable to Apache) and run mailman/bin/newlist.
The newlist command told me to add some lines to /etc/aliases.
All went smoothly: I could access the page to subscribe myself
and got an email asking me to confirm. I did, and nothing
happened.
All I found was:
# tail /var/log/exim/mainlog
...
2001-10-12 15:24:06 15s9mo-0001Yp-00 Neither the system_aliases
director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery
of |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd workbench
I would really appreciate any help with this problem. Please cc to
