Please see the FAQ In a nutshell it will tell you that Mailman's CGI's are setup with a security feature during the install. The feature only allows someone with the proper GroupID to run the CGI's.
The scripts that are run via your MTA (mail-server) should be set to only run for someone with a GroupID of "mailnull". This is because *your* mail-server runs as GroupID "mailnull" To set this up, you need to rerun the ./configure command (assuming you installed this from source): ./configure --with-mail-gid=mailnull make install Note: this will not hurt any of your current lists or list values (unless you modified the ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py file instead of the mm_cfg.py file). So fixing this should be a five minute job.
