I'm trying to set up mailman on a new host (transferring my VPS to
a new machine). This is running Debian. Mailman is set up, shows
up in the web interface. I transferred the mailing list. I'm
trying to send myself a password reminder, and.... nothing.<br>
<br>
The postfix logs don't show anything at all.<br>
/var/lib/mailman/qfils/virgin shows something that looks like the
password reminder<br>
Nothing appears in my inbox.<br>
<br>
All tips on the internet say to look for the mailer's logs to find
out what's wrong, but the mailer doesn't show any logs at all.<br>
<br>
Ideas?<br>

The problem turned out to be quite simple. I forgot to run the
mailman daemon (it was not run when I installed mailman, probably
because the "mailman" mailing list was not defined at the time).<br>
<br>
As for how to debug this: It is not clear why there were no logs.
The way I figured this out was because I found out that the mail was
piling in one of the mailman administrative directories. Googling
that directory's name brought me the answer.<br>
<br>
Everyone, thanks for trying.<br>
