[cobalt-users] Mailing lists not working

["Mark D. Johnston" <mjohnston@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mat,

Thanks for looking at this.  Following is a sample from my mail logs.  All
messages sent to group or mailing list userids produce this same result.
One of my staff claims that the mailing lists have never worked.  I assumed
from the line "aliasing/forwarding loop broken" that this was an aliasing
error, but the alias files seem fine and the majordomo config-test reports
no errors.  Where should I be looking?  Thanks!

You need to take a look at /var/log/maillog and see if the messages are 
actually getting to the server, and if so what type of messages (error,
regular) are being generated.  Without that type of info, all I can say is 
that something doesn't seem right.
