newly created 'testlist' works perfectly. However, the moved list does not.
The mailman error log reports the error: no such list as
"miss_spelled_listname".



Does the moved list have a directory called $prefix/list/<listname> and if it is set for archiving a directory called $prefix/archives/private/<listname> and $prefix/archives/private/<listname>.mbox?


How/what exactly did you move when you moved this old list to the new MM 2.1.2 installation?

Does this old list show up on the /mailman/listinfo and /mailman/admin URI response pages?

Did you run prefix/bin/check_perms -f after manually moving this old list into the new MM installation area?

Have you tried running fix_url against this moved list?


The only other odd thing is when I querry 'owner' like this:


/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner


I do not know what you are trying to achieve by running this command and what you mean by "querying 'owner'".


What you are in fact doing is running the Mailman mail delivery program wrapper which is intended to be called by the MTA to deliver messages to Mailman. This wrapper checks the egid it is called with is that specified by the --with-mail-gid value from the ./configure during installation. As this condition is not being satisfied when you are running it from the command line you get an error reported to that effect.

I get this error:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "mailnull", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "wheel".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group "mailnull", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=wheel'.

It just doesn't make sense that there would be a real gid error if the
testlist does all the right stuff (ie subscribes sends mail, accepts mail
etc...)


Ideas?
