[Mailman-Users] mailman user problem

2022-03-20 Thread Dennis Putnam
I don't know what happened but mailman is no longer working (CentOS 7). 
I don't think it is mailman per se but I don't know where else to turn 
for help. I am feeding mailman using fetchmail from gmail.com which has 
been working fine for eons. For some reason fetchmail no longer works as 
I get this error:


Old UID list from pop.gmail.com: 

After considerable research I THINK I have traced the problem to the 
mailman account since fetchmail runs as mailman via cron. It appears 
that the crontab for mailman is gone and I cannot 'su - mailman' to run 
'crontab' on 'crontab.in'. Although isn't that supposed to happen 
automatically? Nor can I run fetchmail as mailman. I get the error:


This account is currently not available.

The passwd file entry is:

 mailman:x:41:41:GNU Mailing List Manager:/usr/lib/mailman:/sbin/nologin

I think it has always been that way but I'm not sure since 
'/sbin/nologin' means there is no shell and is why I am getting that 
error. I don't, at this point, see how it could have ever worked. In any 
case I need some help figuring out why mailman is getting that error.


FWIW, if I run 'passwd -S mailman', I get this:

mailman NP 2022-03-19 -1 -1 -1 -1 (Empty password.)

TIA

There is no such thing. Mailman uses a set of command line tools and 
a web interface but there is no GUI that controls Mailman.

I think he means the web interface.

The answer is to read the section in the Mailman Installation Manual on
setting up your web server
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node10.html.

The only GUI for Mailman is the web interface, and that doesn't cover 
all of the things you may want/need to do.  For the rest, the only 
option is to use the command-line.
