I have a recently upgraded 2.1.1 installation on an openbsd 3.0 machine. My 2.0.x installation stripped attachments from all messages, so this did not come up. In this instance, there has been a request from list owners to allow attachments..
The first problem I'm having: When the scubber attempts to create the directories under archives/private/<list>/attachments, the chmod(2775) at line 332 (Scrubber.py) fails, resulting in the message being shunted. BSD systems, of course, do not require the setgid bit on directories to inherit the group ownership. However, the instruction in README.BSD does not affect these calls - setgid on directories seems to be fairly well ingrained. To be honest, I don't know why the chmod is failing - the qrunners are running as the mailman uid/gid, and all the necessary directories are owned by mailman.] After the message is processed and shunted, I can run check_perms and get this: directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testlist/attachments/20030325 directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testlist/attachments/20030325/18970e 0c If I run check_perms -f and then unshunt the message, it delivers fine. A different, but possibly related, problem I'm having with attachments: After unshunting and delivering these messages, I am finding in the archives that the files are being stored improperly. In particular, my .pdf files are being stored in the archives as .exe files. (?) On the lists themselves, however, the attachments are being delivered properly. I had been running 2.0.x for a year or so, and have a fair bit of experience with it. I've installed & configured another 2.1.1 installation on one other box, an OSX machine, and experienced none of these issues. MTA is postfix, although that should not matter for this, since it seems "self contained" to Mailman itself.
