hello everyone,
I am writing this e-mail as a sort of last resort. Believe me I've tried hard,
but can't find a solution to the following problem.
-I installed mailman on a debian server with postfix.
-all mailing lists work.
-webinterface works.
now, whenever the cronscripts run, or somebody sends a mail over one of the
lists, the permissions of some file (usually something like:
"/var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/config.pck") will change from www:mailman to
mailman:mailman.
after this happens, I can no longer access the web-interface.
The result:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this
page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened.
Thanks!

I tried many things including:
I have tried forcing the permissions by doing a chmod u+s. that didn't work
>ls -l
>drwsrwsr-x 6 www-data mailman 4096 Sep 9 01:11 listname
I tried to change
MAILMAN_USER = 'www-data'
in
/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
but this resulted in a
Mailman mail-wrapper: Group mismatch error.
I was then thorougly confused by suexec stuff
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=recent&days=365250
-see "6.17. Apache+Suexec"
one the one hand, this suggests I should run everything as mailman:mailman and
on the other hand I am warned strongly against this in the mailman
installation docs. not to mention that the apache docs concerning suexec are
daunting. well as apache doc are ;-)
and DON'T tell me to run check_perms!
*grin*
so now here is my question:
can anybody help me?
thank you
