[Mailman-Users] RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias

[Shannon M. Anderson]

That was my first thought, I even went as far as making the perms on thoses file a little lighter for testing.

-rw-rw-rw-    1 mailman  mailman      1176 Mar 18 11:07 aliases
-rw-rw-rw-    1 mailman  mailman     12288 Mar 18 10:48 aliases.db

incase it was using a username or group not specified during configuration.

I have noticed that the list was created and that it does show up in the aliases file.

# This file is generated by Mailman, and is kept in sync with the
# binary hash file aliases.db.  YOU SHOULD NOT MANUALLY EDIT THIS FILE
# unless you know what you're doing, and can keep the two files properly

# The ultimate loop stopper address
mailman-loop: /usr/local/mailman/data/owner-bounces.mbox

testlist:             "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist"

testlist-subscribe:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe testlist"
testlist-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe testlist"
# STANZA END: testlist

So should i consider this a problem or was there a step that did not complete during list addition of list?

I did not receive the confermation e-mail that the list was created.
