When using the command `mailman create` as root, it creates a folder in /var/lib/mailman3/lists/ with the root:root owner/group. This then causes the following error that makes the mailing list unusable: Sep 20 16:28:58 2019 (30951) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/lists/ml.example.org/digest.mmdf' FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mailman3/lists/ml.example.org/digest.mmdf' I think this command, when run as root, should create the directory with the appropriate owner/group (list:list), so that we don't have to chown the directory manually thereafter. Or at least tell us that we need to run this chown manually if mailman can't do it for some reason.The main reason it's not obvious to act upon this is that it's Debian's choice to run mailman3 as list:list, hence the program can't really guess if being launched as root:root is normal or not. In my opinon one should know the potential impact of running a program as a specific user. If you have an idea of a way to work upon that properly, I'm all ears.
Just to let you know: that's exactly what `/usr/bin/mailman-wrapper` is for. It takes care of invoking `/usr/bin/mailman` as user `list:list`.
Kind regards jonas
