The user that mailman runs as (default = mailman) needs to have write permission to the directory shown in the last line of the trace back. Have you tried running bin/check_perms as root with the -f option? You may need to run it a few times to fix everything. These are the permissions I get on my /usr/local/mailman/lists directory: drwxrwsr-x 9 mailman mailman 4096 Aug 9 09:22 lists And for a sample list directory: drwxrwsr-x 3 mailman mailman 4096 Jan 3 09:00 cuisine If you are running a default installation of mailman, your lists directories should have the same permissions.
