Hi guys, I found an older message in the archive that was similar to my issue and all the errors where caused by selinux.
Now the aliases get nicely created. I have submitted some messages to the list and I do not get any errors in my mail log. However the emails don't seem to be delivered to list members? What other logs could provide me with any indication of what is wrong? I am sure I made progress :-) Cheers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Zullinger Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 1:15 PM To: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] FW: Install issues -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Defryn, Guy wrote: > I did run genaliases and that generated the following error > > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "./genaliases", line 116, in ? > main() > File "./genaliases", line 106, in main > MTA.create(mlist, nolock=True, quiet=quiet) > File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 232, in create > _update_maps() > File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in > _update_maps > raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) > RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases > (status: > 1, Operation not permitted) This is most likely FAQ 6.9: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.009.htp I get a "RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias" when creating lists and Postfix is my MTA Check that and adjust the paths as appropriate for FC5. > I also have the mailman list.

It appears to be. It may be caused by SELinux instead of just normal file system permissions. Do you have SELinux running in enforcing mode? Run the getenforce command as root to find out if you're unsure. If it's in enforcing mode, you're going to want to set it to permissive or disable it for now as there are problems making mailman and postfix work. I've posted about this to the fedora-selinux-list and not gotten any real solution yet. I'll hopefully get a chance to submit a bug to Fedora on this so it can get fixed, but for now, it's a no go unless you are real adept at managing SELinux (which I think only a very small handful of folks are). - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== I like this 'God'; he's so deliciously evil. -- Stewie Griffin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkR2VosmGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1rkkwCffjt38ObXaKkEFbzhWx7j7xRM62QAoIqk5fIp Tw+fM4Zd93mEEtODbj3c =175E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/g.p.defryn%40massey .ac.nz Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
