Re: [Mailman-Users] Group Writable

2002-12-08 Thread David L Brown
Do what I did for v2.0.8. After installing mailman do a

  chmod g-w ~mailman

AFAIK nothing writes to the top level mailman directory after the
installation. All writing is done to subdirectories. I hope this is
still true in 2.1.

 The setting is in your sendmail.cf file.  It's something like
 DontBlameSendmail. You can find details at:

I have looked through sendmail
for the DontBlameSendmail issue but I dont
want to give up on security to fix this problem.

I checked my permissions and everything is
just according to the mailman documentation. How can I take care of this
problem without having to compromise security ?

Thanks

jack
