[Mailman-Users] Bug (probably not) /usr/sbin/postalias /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted)

[Thufir]

I'm doubting that this is a bug:


Bug in Mailman version 2.1.15

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

Ohhhh, I think that I didn't create the aliases, that's all.   Pardon,
already copy/pasted, etc, so may as well click send before heading off to
bed.  Pardon, I installed mailman, got it working, and then going through
the process again, should've RTFM again.


thanks,
