Hi I had to move lists. We had a hardware failure and they had to move to our new mail server. The mail server migration went fine and we thought mailman moved okay as well but we were wrong.
Earlier today I tried to create a new list and and got an error so my boss said to check permissions. I ran the /usr/share/mailman/bin/ check_perms -f in every mailman file I could find but Im still getting permission errors. I even gave global permissions to all the archives but no luck. Right now, lists have stopped - they just aren't working and I just can't figure out what the problem is. The more we tried to fix it, the worse it got. Unfortunately my company heavily relies on them so I figured before I set out to manually configure mail aliases, does anyone know a way around this mess? from var/mailman/logs/error: (the permissions and ownership for the client-list is -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 479 Jun 18 13:30 / private/var/mailman/archives/private/client-list/index.html) Jun 18 19:24:34 2007 (10816) SHUNTING: 1182219873.5167899
