[Mailman-Users] external web interface

[BRAVAL François]

I don't get it !
Permissions seems to be right on aliases* files. Owner is mailman:mailman perms is 777 for now.

2 questions:
With my config, postfix+mailman on machine1, apache on machine2
- /usr/sbin/postalias (and portmap) is on machine1, not needed on machine 2, right ?
- which user (or group) runs the /usr/sbin/postalias command when creating a list on machine2 with the web interface
     do I need to add this user to the postfix group or something ?
 
When I was using postfix+mailman+apache on the same machine, everything was working fine
So I also think it is a perms problem, but can't fix it...
