Mailman has suddenly quit working and I'm getting errors when I try to email to the list: An error occurred!

it may be unrelated to the upgrade. I also added one new list (for testing) with ISPCONFIG. and I only send out to the list once a month so whatever messed it up may have happened quite a while ago... can you walk me through troubleshooting this? in mm_cfg.py i have default_email_host as my server ( # Default domain for email addresses of newly created MLs DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'ns9.cdbsystems.com' #------------------------------------------------------------- # Default host for web interface of newly created MLs DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'ns9.cdbsystems.com' #------------------------------------------ then at the bottom: MTA='Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['theeldestgeek.com'] #------------------------------------------------------------- # Uncomment if you want to filter mail with SpamAssassin.

I don't use mailman and I have not developed the mailman functions in ISPConfig, so not sure if I can help you with that in detail. What you might try first is adding a new mailinglist, does not matter much what you add as it is just a dummy list to force ISPConfig to write out the config files again. Then test if your original list is working again. The dummy list can be deleted again then as it is just a way to trigger that the config files for mailman get rewritten.
Ok i think ive identified most of the problem In /etc/mailman we have an aliases and a virtual-mailman file When i added a new list zzz i see its stanza is added to both files but the second file contains ONLY the new list! I manually added appropriate stanzas to the second file and postmapped it Now the old lists seem to work but oddly the NEW list is NOT shown by the xxx.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo page only the older lists,are shown! However if i access zzz directly Xxx.com/cgi-bin/mailman/zzz/admin (sp?) I get the new list admin page Clearly whatever else is going on ispconfig3 is not correctly updating the list-of-lists database! Another question if i delete a list record is that list database deleted? I dont want to lose the current memberlists
I've tested it here on Debian 9 and when I add two mailinglists, then both mailinglists are listed in the aliases and virtual-mailman file. Yes, as far as I know.
