I would bet a week's worth of beer that the Mailman installation has been upgraded recently, and they forgot to give the wrapper program sgid privilege and/or forgot to give it group "mailman". It's also possible that the actual problem is with the mail server, but usually mail servers are not given sufficient permissions to run other programs as arbitrary users or groups. To fix it, run the bin/check_perms program in the Mailman installation to see if I'm correct. If I am, run "bin/check_perms -f" to actually make the necessary changes. Of course you need to have root permission on the Mailman host to do this. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
