Public bug reported: I am running mailman as www-data:list rather than as list:list. After a reboot something keeps resetting the ownership /var/run/mailman from www-data:list to list:list. After each reboot I have to reset/restart manually. All other directories & files are fine.
I have hunted all over but I cannot find where this is happening. This is the tail of /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py: #------------------------------------------------------------- # Uncomment if you want to filter mail with SpamAssassin. For # more information please visit this website: # http://www.jamesh.id.au/articles/mailman-spamassassin/ # GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin') # Note - if you're looking for something that is imported from mm_cfg, but you # didn't find it above, it's probably in /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py.
