I resolved the issue of e-mail not being sent to list admins by starting
mailmanctl, which I didn't know about. In trying to create a test list to
make sure everything is working now, though, I discovered that the web
interface for creating new lists doesn't work. I created a list earlier
from the command line, which worked, but it looks like something called by
the web interface is running as the cgi user, rather than mailman, and so
can't create archives. Perhaps my permissions are incorrect? Again,
check_perms doesn't report anything wrong, but I had a permissions problem
before that it didn't report, too.
I would think the problem is that somehow these scripts should be running
as mailman rather than under the cgi gid, or they won't create list files
with owner and group mailman.
Please help if you have any ideas.
Sincerely,
Greg Westin
