Mailman configured properly?
or the following error during mailman startup:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
Site list is missing: mailman
Resolution
- First of all try to reconfigure Mailman with Plesk. To do it, remove main Mailman list:# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/rmlist mailmanThen go to "Server->Set Up Mailman" and input requested information.
- If it does not help check that MAILMAN_ROOT_D/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and MAILMAN_ROOT_D/Mailman/Defaults.py do not contain the record like MTA = 'Postfix'.
Plesk uses Qmail MTA but Mailman has no built in Qmail support, so you should comment that line and leave MTA = 'Manual' in MAILMAN_ROOT_D/Mailman/Defaults.py then restart Mailman.
MAILMAN_ROOT_D folder vary depending on operating system and can be known from /etc/psa/psa.conf file.
