[Mailman-Users] [Fwd: Wrapper does not seem to do anything.]

[Hans Deragon]

Ok, I did not got any response for my previous post, so I will 
rephrase a bit.

Is there anyway I can enable debug traces in the wrapper so I can 
figure out why it does not do anything?  If it is rejecting the email, 
I would like to see the wrapper informing so and the reason.

I ran strace and found out that there was some permission problems 
(but the wrapper just stop, without issuing an error message).  I 
manually chmoded the files and then it got further, but my user still 
is not registered as a subscriber.  And when I rerun the wrapper 
another time, the permission problem reoccured.  Mailman seems to 
change the permissions on the fly.  Here is the permission error:

write(2, "[Errno 13] Permission denied: \'/"..., 83[Errno 13] 
Permission denied: 
'/perm/system/internet/mailman/lists/testa/config.db') = 83

I fetch my mail using fetchmail and procmail using another user.  Is 
it possible to ask mailman to ignore permissions and just leave them 
they are?  Its for my home and I do not need rocket security, but I 
need a mailing list that works.

I think I will use the same user/group to fetch my mail and have 
mailman running under, but it is not an ideal solution.


Sincerely,
Hans Deragon

Greetings.


    I receive an email which I pass to the mailman wrapper with the
following command:

cat reply1.txt | /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testa

    reply1.txt is a text file containing the message of a reply to a
subscribtion notice.  But wrapper does not seem to do anything.  The
user is not subscribed and no logs are to be found under
/var/log/maillog.  Any suggestions?

    BTW, if I call wrapper with bad arguments, it complains in
/var/log/maillog, so I know that I am looking at the right place for logs.


Sincerely,
Hans Deragon.
