I have had an installation of mailman3 running for a year or so with no problems. This was a manual installation. I ended up having to change machines, so I decided to install using the debian 11 package. It seems to have gone well except.... when I restart mailman3 service, I get the following fail and error message:
oot@emergenis:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# systemctl restart mailman3 Job for mailman3.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mailman3.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. root@emergenis:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# systemctl status mailman3 ● mailman3.service - Mailman3 server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mailman3.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2022-10-11 15:09:45 EDT; 8s ago Docs: man:mailman(1) https://mailman.readthedocs.io/ Process: 1056 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mailman -C /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg start --force (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 9.193s

Heres the ls for /var/lib/mailman3/data:

The web interface comes up and seems to "work" but of course complains that mailman3 isn't actually running.
I assume there's some posfix config I haven't done right, but I am clueless as to what it is.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
