I can also confirm the problem on Ubuntu 10.04, where the archives directories are owned by root and so mailman can not write to them.
$ ls -al /var/lib/mailman/archives/ total 16 drwxrwsr-x 4 root list 4096 2011-04-01 16:58 . drwxrwsr-x 8 root list 4096 2011-04-01 16:58 .. drwxrws--- 2 root www-data 4096 2011-02-17 15:31 private drwxrwsr-x 2 root list 4096 2011-02-17 15:31 public Running 'sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f' fixes the permissions by changing them to list:list, but this needs to be done after each new mailing lists is created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543148 Title: Private Archive Permissions Are Incorrect -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
