Ok, I did not got any response for my previous post, so I will rephrase a bit.

Is there anyway I can enable debug traces in the wrapper so I can figure out why it does not do anything? If it is rejecting the email, I would like to see the wrapper informing so and the reason.

I ran strace and found out that there was some permission problems (but the wrapper just stop, without issuing an error message). I manually chmoded the files and then it got further, but my user still is not registered as a subscriber. And when I rerun the wrapper another time, the permission problem reoccured. Mailman seems to change the permissions on the fly. Here is the permission error:

write(2, "[Errno 13] Permission denied: \'/"..., 83[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/perm/system/internet/mailman/lists/testa/config.db') = 83

I fetch my mail using fetchmail and procmail using another user. Is it possible to ask mailman to ignore permissions and just leave them they are? Its for my home and I do not need rocket security, but I need a mailing list that works.

I think I will use the same user/group to fetch my mail and have mailman running under, but it is not an ideal solution.


Sincerely,
Hans Deragon

Greetings.


I receive an email which I pass to the mailman wrapper with the
following command:

cat reply1.txt | /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testa

reply1.txt is a text file containing the message of a reply to a
subscribtion notice. But wrapper does not seem to do anything. The
user is not subscribed and no logs are to be found under
/var/log/maillog. Any suggestions?

BTW, if I call wrapper with bad arguments, it complains in
/var/log/maillog, so I know that I am looking at the right place for logs.


Sincerely,
Hans Deragon.
