Re: [Mailman-Users] Permission Denied Error after List Migration
Mark, many thanks for your detailed explanation!

[Mailman-Users] Permission Denied Error after List Migration
Hello, I just tried migrating a list from an old to a new server. Basically I copied /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname and copied the private archive as well. Afterwards I - regenerated the archives using /var/lib/mailman/bin/arch [listname] and - fixed the urls with withlist -l -r fix_url [listname] When trying to login into the admin panel, I get Bug in Mailman version 2.1.15 and in the logs there are the log entries found below: (N.B: All file permissions are set according to my previous server's, but I also tried: chown -R list.list /var/lib/mailman/lists/ Can you help me?

The post archived at the above link was addressed to you and to the list. The copy to you was accepted by your MX (mail.covisp.net). Perhaps you are filtering mail from me? Not specifically, but mail to my list address that is not to a list goes into a quarantine that I look at only on rare occasions. I never saw the copy sent to the list though. The one directly to me is in the quarantine and I pulled it out after seeing your second reply. If you are an explicit addressee of a list post, you won't get a copy from the list unless you set your Avoid duplicate copies of messages? list option to No which would seem to be a good idea in this case. Hmm.. I think I might have found the problem, there was a crontab for 'nobody' that had the various mailman tasks in it. Mailman runs as the user mailman, not nobody. See if that eliminates the issue. I considered asking you about that, but you seemed to say that commenting the gate_news entry in the mailman user's crontab stopped the gate_news errors which would imply they were coming from the mailman user's crontab. Note also that crond is probably mailing error reports to 'mailman' or maybe to 'nobody' if it is that crontab. It is good to arrange for that mail to be deliverable. In some cases that mail is treated as a post to the 'mailman' list and is then discarded as a non-member post and never seen. For various reasons, it can be good to have the mailman list accept non-member posts (and have only one or a few site admins as members). -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

I'm still looking into it. I suspect this has something to do with a portupgrade as the errors started about the time I was doing a lot of updates. Hmm.. I think I might have found the problem, there was a crontab for 'nobody' that had the various mailman tasks in it. Mailman runs as the user mailman, not nobody.

Re: [Mailman-Users] permission denied error on sending mails to mailinglist
Mayb this will make it clearer. Postfix is installed using yum install postfix. While mailman is compiled from source with the following options: ./configure --with-mail-gid=postfix --with-cgi-gid=apache However, I keep encountering errors where postfix is unable to execute the wrapper for /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman The errors on my maillog are here: fatal: execvp /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman : Permission denied Can anyone point me in the right direction?

While mailman is compiled from source with the following options: ./configure --with-mail-gid=postfix --with-cgi-gid=apache The --with-mail-gid=postfix doesn't come into play yet, because you aren't getting that far. This causes the /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman wrapper to check that it was invoked from the postfix group to prevent just anyone from running it. In your case it isn't being executed because the OS is saying postfix doesn't have permission to run it. However, I keep encountering errors where postfix is unable to execute the wrapper for /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman The errors on my maillog are here: fatal: execvp /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman : Permission denied Can anyone point me in the right direction? Posting to postfix doesnt seem to yield any remedies. Thanks What happens if you log in as the postfix user/group (or su to the postfix user/group) and try to run the wrapper? /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman should produce Usage: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman program [args...] or something similar? If you get permission denied, you have to solve that. If you don't, you have to figure out what is different between your doing it and Postfix's doing it. BTW, I believe that Postfix will try to execute the wrapper as the user/group that owns the aliases.db file that contains the mailman aliases. This may not be consistent with your --with-mail-gid=postfix configure option. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
