Ibiblio.org has Mailman installed incorrectly. They need to install it 
correctly. This problem affects all lists managed by this Mailman installation 
so I assume you have also not been receiving any postings from this list.

I would bet a week's worth of beer that the Mailman installation has
been upgraded recently, and they forgot to give the wrapper program
sgid privilege and/or forgot to give it group "mailman".

It's also possible that the actual problem is with the mail server,
but usually mail servers are not given sufficient permissions to run
other programs as arbitrary users or groups.

To fix it, run the bin/check_perms program in the Mailman installation
to see if I'm correct.  If I am, run "bin/check_perms -f" to actually
make the necessary changes.

Of course you need to have root permission on the Mailman host to do
this.

[Mailman-Users] Can Someone Explain This?

2014-05-09 Thread sherwin

I am recently having trouble posting messages to Ibiblio from my
AT&T mail account.  There have been issues lately with AOL and
Yahoo changing their headers, but I was not affected by this.

My email postings to Ibiblio are being rejected with the following error:

This is the mail system at host lists.ibiblio.org.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

How can this be fixed?
