Hi
For some reason my mailman has stopped responding... probably after a
upgrade but I'm not sure.
I can't seem to start or stop mailman...

I tried to start mailman manually with '/usr/lib/mailman/mailmanctl
start' but got this error:
Site list is missing: mailman
Then I ask mailman to display my lists with '/usr/lib/mailman/bin/
list_lists' which gave me this response:
No matching mailing lists found
which is somewhat odd as I checked that the lists was located where
they have been the whole time at '/usr/local/mailman/lists/' which was
the case.
I have tried to kill all mailman processes but without any luck in
regards to starting the service again.
My best bet is that I have missed some crucial change when accepted
changes to a conf file after an upgrade using dispatch-conf, but I
have no idea which.
Anybody had the same problem and found a solution?
Worst case scenario, how do I move my existing lists to a fresh
installation of mailman?
I'm not sure about mailman but this is how I handle a service that is
giving me fits. /etc/init.d/<service-name> stop. Then I use ps aux and
make sure there are no living processes still there and kill them if
needed. Then I do a /etc/init.d/<service-name> zap then do a
/etc/init.d/<service-name> start. Cross all fingers at that point.
I'm not sure if it will help or not but until some mailman guru comes
along, it may be worth thinking about trying. YMMV.
