I am running a few mailing lists with private archive on my machine.
I see that /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/ contains two directories
per list one named "listname" and the other one "listname.mbox".
Owned by wwwrun.mailman, permissions drwxrwsr-x
The listname directory contains one index.html owned by wwwrun.mailman
while all other directories and text files are owned by mailman.mailman.
The listname.mbox directory contains a single file with the same name.
Now I noticed that at present such file is owned by me (lucio.staff)
with permissions -rw-rw-r--
And I see in the log files some error messages like
Jun 16 07:02:26 2015 (3112) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13]
Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/fitsconv.mbox/fitsconv.mbox'
I suspect this may be due to the fact a while ago I created some soft
links from my own ~/.mail directory e.g. fitsconv.mbox ->
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/fitsconv.mbox/fitsconv.mbox
(the links are owned by me and have lrwxrwxrwx)
The idea was that I could, as administrator, access the entire sequence of
messages of a list from my mail client (alpine), instead than with the web
interface. Of course I'd just need read access, not write.
1) which are the correct permissions ?
2) apparently since the wrong permission were setup, archiving stopped to
work. Is there a way to rebuild the archives from messages stored in
personal folders (I am not sure I have all of them though !)
