[Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains

[Scott Race]

Now just hit one more slight snag, can no longer create new lists on the
second-domain.org.

Fails with the Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 - We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Error.

/var/log/mailman error shows:

admin(14722): RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postmap
/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman (status: 1, Operation not permitted)

I noticed that apache is now trying to own the virtual-mailman file in
/etc/mailman, didn't notice that before.  Changing the ownership to
root:mailman doesn't work, when trying to create a list it fails and
apache takes ownership back.

I don't recall your telling us that this was a RedHat package. These
things make a difference.


  It has the following entries:

That's good.

That's probably not a problem.

Does your main.cf virtual_alias_maps point to
/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman where it is or does it point somewhere
else. How about alias_maps?
