Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem creating mailing lists via webinterface in2.1.11

Re: [Mailman-Users] Problem creating mailing lists via web interface in 2.1.11

The MTA is postfix. The file in question is /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases which, according to what I've read, is created from aliases.db. The interesting thing is, virtual-mailman *is* updated correctly from virtual-mailman.db while aliases is not. Mailman was installed long before I got here, but

[Mailman-Users] Problem creating mailing lists via web interface in 2.1.11

It works just fine if I log in as root and use newlist, but if I try to create a new list via the web admin interface, two things happen. First, I get an error, whose text I do not have in front of me (I know, I know, first rule of error reporting, report the exact error, but you probably won't nee
