I've gotten Mailman 2.1b2 installed on my new linux server. It's using
Postfix as an MTA. I can create lists, but an error is generated. The
list does exists, and I can edit it and everything. But it seems that
there's a problem with creating aliases for it. See the error page pasted
in below.
I suspect that it's a permissions problem, but at this late time of night,
I can no longer see the forest for the trees. Initially I did get in the
infamous 'wanted uid 99, got 48' error. Miraculously, I remember getting
that when I installed v2.05 last summer, and the solution to run apache as
uid/gid nobody. Here's the error page:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1b2
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of

happened. Thanks!
