Hi,
I have setup Mailman and have the following problems with it: I have a list called priv where only memebers are allowed to post. When a non-member posts to the list, it goes for admin approval. The administratior rejects the posting thru web interface. At this point the ownership of /var/lists/priv/configdb and /var/lists/priv/configdb.last changes. It changes from uid=mailman, gid=nofiles to uid=nobody, gid=nofiles. Also, the permission of the files become -rw-rw---- This happens because apache is running with uid=nobody and gid=nofiles. I have configured mailman with uid=mailman and gid=nofiles. The refusal intimation from the admin never goes ou to the poster because the qrunner runs with uid=mailman and gid=nofiles and it has no read access to the files /var/lists/priv/configdb*. The moment I do "chmod a+r /var/lists/priv/configdb*" the queue is cleared and the refusal message reaches the external user. Can anyone please help me out ? I can not run apache with any other uid. I am thinking of patching the admindb.py to force the ownership to uid=mailman and gis=nofiles. This I want to do as a last resort if I dont find any responses.
