I've been trying to get mailman 2.1.5 to work on my OS X (10.3.8, not
server) machine for some time. I have root access. My postfix mail
agent is working correctly (I can send email from my box and receive
mail). I've used Larry Stone's archive posting to guide my
installation of mailman. If anyone can tell me what I can do to get
mailman up and running on my machine, I'd be most grateful.
I seem to be able to create new lists, but whenever I do, I get an
error that looks like this:
We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Utility and repaired permissions once. I've rerun check_perms -f a few
more times.
Here's an excerpt from my system log. The last two entries correspond
to my trying to send email to a list on my machine from my machine.
