[Mailman-Users] moved lists and now they don't work

[carconni]

Hi

I had to move lists.  We had a hardware failure and they had to move  
to our new mail server.  The mail server migration went fine and we  
thought mailman moved okay as well but we were wrong.

Earlier today I tried to create a new list and and got an error so my  
boss said to check permissions.  I ran the /usr/share/mailman/bin/ 
check_perms -f in every mailman file I could find but Im still  
getting permission errors.  I even gave global permissions to all the  
archives but no luck.

Right now, lists have stopped - they just aren't working and I just  
can't figure out what the problem is.  The more we tried to fix it,  
the worse it got.  Unfortunately my company heavily relies on them so  
I figured before I set out to manually configure mail aliases, does  
anyone know a way around this mess?

client-list is -rw-r--r--   1 root  mailman  479 Jun 18 13:30 /
