[Mailman-Users] 2.1.15 cPanel issue

[Brian Carpenter]

Hi Malcolm:

Your cPanel provider should run the following commands on the server:

/scripts/fixmailinglistperms
/scripts/fixmailman

That will typically fix most list permissions. For some reasons, files
within the 'listname'/en directory gets their permissions screwed up. I ran
into this several times after migrating our own mailman hosting clients to
new mailman servers.
