Ok, totally new to mailman, but giving it a try. Currently I have version 2.0.9 runnig on Linux. The install seemed to work fine. The ./check_perms reports things are fine. I have mailman running as mailman, with group mailman. I have a web server running under a different www-data account.
I think I have some permission issues however, for I tend to see the following error pop up in different places. Most notably, when a new user signs up, they get a "Subscription results" page confirming their sign up, but with the following at the bottom. ---------------- Content-type: text/html Bug in Mailman version 2.0.9 We're sorry, we hit a bug!
