Hey everyone.. running MM 2.1 on FreeBSD 4.8 with Postfix/AMaViS/SpamAssassin

I had a user ask me why an email she sent never got posted to a list she's
a proper member of.. so I went to investigate.. saw that yes, she indeed
posted a message, it hit my SMTP, went through SA/AMaViS and through to
Mailman, but it never went anywhere from there.

So.. I went to look at the Mailman logs... they're um.. well.. empty.

My guess is it is a perms thing... they're mostly owned by mailman:mailman
with perms of 644, except for subscribe which is owned by www:mailman
perms of 644

What are the proper permissions for the log files in /usr/local/mailman/logs?

Usually 0664 for the files in $prefix/logs but the best way to get this right is by running '$prefix/bin/check_perms -f' as either root or the mailman user. This makes sure the setgid bit on directories are also correct. I usually stop mailmanctl and the local MTA while check_perms is doing its fix thing.



Thank you! :)
Glenn
