I was having problems adding a list in Mailman 2.1beta via the web interface, it was giving me an error regarding permissions to the mailman/data/aliases.db file.
This is the error I got: ... File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 46, in _update_maps raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /var/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) To fix this I changed the permissions on this file so apache could write to it. chmod a+w aliases.db This did fix the problem of creating and deleting lists via the web interface. Does anyone know if this would open up any security holes? Is there another way to fix the permissions problem that is more logical? Thanks for your help.
