With some excellent help, all my Mailman problems up to today have
been solved. and my mailing lists have been behaving normally. Since
it's a new month, mailpasswd ran earlier this morning. The email of
the cron job reported a permissions error on one of the config.pck
files for one of the lists. Investigation proved the offender was
owned by root, not mailman. Interesting that check_perms didn't think
this was a problem. I found several others that were like this and,
figuring the one reported in the cron email was only the tip of the
iceberg, I changed the others as well and forced the cron job to run
again. As a result, I got the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/mailpasswds", line 243, in <module>

As you can tell, this is a hand-built installation of Mailman, which
may or may not have something to do with this. check_perms reports no
problems found. The directory /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/virgin, which
is currently empty, is owned by root and is a member of the mailman
group. Its protection mask is 770. Looking through the mm
documentation isn't doing it for me at this point. Everything on the
new system looks like it matches everything on the old system with
regard to protection masks and ownerships. What else should I be
checking?
