Mailman List System does not send mail

[rcrask]

First let me indicate that I have used the mailman mail list program successfully on number cpanel servers.

Recently on one of our newer cpanel servers I have had problem with the mail list system ... after lists are set up, the list will not send mail to the list addresses.

I have verified the box is seeing the inbound e-mails to the list, but from there nothing is happening. I am using known good list configurations that have always worked on other boxes.

I was able to get a list to work on the box in question for a short period of time, but when the list was deleted, and a new list created, the problem showed up again. The config of the new list is exactly the same and on the same domain. The initial test list that ultimately worked, did not work for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden started sending test emails I had sent week before. The list worked until it was deleted, and the new list(s) again do not send.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be...? I would appreciate the help.

Kindly check the error logs for the exact error message. You can get the error logs at /var/log/exim_mainlog.

We are having the same problem with a few mailing lists. Exim mail log seems to think everything is ok... but e-mails never get sent out...

In addition to checking the Exim logs, I recommend to also check the Mailman logs within the following directory path:

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs

Here is an example of some of the log file paths you may find within the above directory structure:

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/bounce
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/error
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/locks
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/mischief
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/post
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/qrunner
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/smtp
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/smtp-failure
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/subscribe
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/vette

We have 3 different mailing lists for 3 seperate domains on our server. 2 of them is working without any problem. But one of them is not working properly.

It does not send the email to the accounts on the same domain, anyway it sends others.

I'd really appreciate it, if you can help me about this ?

P.S: I also run /scripts/fixmailman ... it still does not work at all

Please check the Mailman logs for details about what is or is not happening that may be related to the symptom being experienced.

For reference, please see the earlier post, as linked here, that details the paths to a number of the Mailman log files: cPanel Forums - View Single Post - Mailman List System does not send mail

I would also consider checking the Exim mainlog, as found at the following path via root SSH access:

/var/log/exim_mainlog
