Please see <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344> That said, Assuming the Mailman user is 'list' as it normally is in a Debian package installation, the mode and ownership of /var/lib/mailman/data should be drwxrwsr-x 3 root list Owner (root in this example) doesn't matter, but group 'list' and SETGID are important. aliases(.db) should be -rw-rw-r-- 1 root list ... aliases -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list ... aliases.db Again the owner of aliases doesn't matter but the owner of aliases.db and the group of both should be 'list'. Also, all the wrappers in /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ should be group 'list' and SETGID. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
