I think this could be a case of P3P being implemented.

Hi. I've setup mailman a couple other time in the past year and it worked near flawlessly except for a few tiny things that were worked out. I've installed 2.0.8 on a new (Mandrake Linux) system just yesterday. It all installed fine as always, and I made lists and sent some mails to them. So it appeared to work. So I went to the web interface to start to configure them and add the users to the lists. Here's where the problem started. I put in all the info and hit Submit Your Changes and it went to that next page as normal but none of my changes were accepted. So I tried non-useradd features and the same thing happened... nothing was saving! I've checked permissions to make sure the mailman group had access to all the files in his home directory. I even decided to start from scratch and completely reinstall but that produced the same results. I can't imagine that there is something so drastically different from my old installs (of 2.0.6) compared to now that I can't figure it out. Can anyone make any suggestions? I have gone through all of the web mailman logs and they are reporting no errors related to the mailman account or directories or permissions. It all appears perfectly correct. Please advise. -ted -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
