Problem 1
When I run 'check_perms -f' it tells me that the permissions on
/var/lib/mailman/cron bad group (has:root, expected list) (fixing)
this problem is repeated with 9 other scripts. When I check the actual
directory '/var/lib/mailman' I find that these files are all links to
'/usr/lib/*; where the correct group is set.
You can ignore the check_perms error. It comes about because the Debian
(and hence Ubuntu) package patches check_perms to use os.lstat rather
than os.stat and thus looks at the mode and group of the symlink instead
of the target. The mode and group of the symlink are irrelevant and
can't be changed anyway.
Thank you for pointing this out. I was hoping that this was the case.
When I try to access the web interface, I am asked if I want to open a file
called 'admin' instead of opening a webpage called admin.
This is an issue with your Apache config. See
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node10.html>.
I have done what this page says as far as I can tell and it still
doesn't serve up a webpage. What I have in
'/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mailman.conf' is
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share/images/mailman/>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
when I run '/etc/init.d/mailman start' or the equivalent for postfix or
apache, I get no errors.
OK.
I did alter the config setup to have mydomain.ca rather than
lists.mydomain.ca, but that is the only change I made to the config as it
came through.
What exactly did you change?
from /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'faithwalk.ca'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'faithwalk.ca'
and from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mailman.conf
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName faithwalk.ca
DocumentRoot /var/www/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/lists-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/lists-access.log combined
<Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

I have checked the archives and have searched out the issues that I
suspect, but have found nothing that worked to fix these issues.
What exactly are your issues? What doesn't work? What do you do that
produces a result different from what you expect, and what is the result?
The things that I am searching out are the things mentioned above plus
mail not being delivered through the list. I am pretty focused on
figuring out the web interface problem first as it was the first problem
I noticed. I have figured out that mailman is working, I can create
lists and add members through the command line, but the list mail is not
getting delivered. The mail log says it was sent, but I do not receive
it on any of the addresses I added to my testlist.
