Hi again, thanks for the help w/ my previous problem.. However, I had messed
it up a bit, so I reinstalled it (postfix + mailman) :-)
Now I got some user/group issues.. It complains about postfix running the
scripts(?) as "nobody" instead of "mailman". Some googling tells me that
this is kindof common, and that postfix should use the same identity as the
owner of the aliases file...?
Right now I have this postfix config;
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases,
hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
..and user mailman owns both these files. Something wrong there..?
Also, I get some problem when I try to create a new list now, using the web
interface. I get a "Oops, there was a bug" page, and looking at the mailman
error log, it seems to be some kind of permission problem here also;
...
admin(29718): os.mkdir(self.archive_dir()+'.mbox', 02775)
admin(29718): OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox'

...
And, looking at the path mentioned;
# ls -ld /usr/local/mailman/archives/private
drwxr-s--x 4 mailman mailman 4096 Mar 7 14:52
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/
# ls -l /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Mar 7 14:52 mailman
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4096 Mar 7 14:52 mailman.mbox
It feels like I've missed to do some settings of permissions.. I run gentoo,
and followed some gentoo guide.. Did I miss something? Does anyone have any
tips?
(hehe, I think this is among the most tricky things I've stumbled upon..
I've re-done it a couple of times now, and get new errors every time..! I
thought "hm, maybe I should set up a mailing list!".. how naive :))
Grateful for help
