Exim doesn't need aliases to work with Mailman. If it is integrated per the above howto document, it actually looks at the Mailman lists/ directory to determine whether an address is for a Mailman list. Thus aliases don't need to be added or removed when lists are created or deleted. >> The FAQ at >> http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp >> covers some things, but they are for the most part not things a list >> owner with only web access to Mailman can do. > >I have shell access so ran the check_perms routine which threw up 12 >errors > > ./check_perms > directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/edithtml must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/confirm must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admin must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/create must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/subscribe must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/admindb must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/rmlist must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/roster must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/options must be set-gid > /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/private must be set-gid > >So I ran check_perms -f and the fixes went through.

These check_perms errors only have to do with the operation of the web interface. They wouldn't have affected the operation of the list. >Now, sadly, going to the mailman pages returns a 500 error - typically I >found this error caused by faulty .htaccess files but I'm not sure where, >if at all, this file might be located within the Mailman configuration. I'm guessing you now have a cgi wrapper group mismatch error. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp Also, if you have access to your web server's error log, look there for more specific information. Also, be sure the group of the cgi-bin/ directory and the wrappers it contains is the Mailman's group. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
