Hi, this patch should fix that. I will send it to upstream and see if it will be accepted. Created attachment 485971 [details]
patch
mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14 mailman-2.1.14-6.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mailman-2.1.14-6.fc15 I have fixed it differently in the end. It turned up, that /var/lib/mailman/archives/private should be owned by apache:mailman instead of mailman:apache and this fixes the problem. Package mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14 then log in and leave karma (feedback). mailman-2.1.14-6.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. mailman-2.1.13-8.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |

To do so it writes to files in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/[listname] and [listname.mbox]. By default these directories are created when the newlist command is run with permissions root:apache: ========================== [root@server3 private]# pwd /var/lib/mailman/archives/private [root@server3 private]# ls -la total 16 drwxrws--- 4 mailman apache 4096 Mar 16 21:00 . drwxrwsr-x 4 root mailman 4096 Mar 16 20:59 .. drwxrwsr-x 2 root apache 4096 Mar 16 21:00 testlist drwxrwsr-x 2 root apache 4096 Mar 16 21:00 testlist.mbox ========================== However this is wrong and prevents mailman from making any archives (/var/log/mailman/error): ========================== Mar 16 04:00:28 2011 (13494) Archive file access failure: /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox/testlist.mbox [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox/testlist.mbox' Mar 16 04:00:28 2011 (13494) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox/testlist.mbox' Mar 16 04:00:28 2011 (13494) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 120, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 191, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/ArchRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose mlist.ArchiveMail(msg) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 200, in ArchiveMail self.__archive_to_mbox(msg) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 169, in __archive_to_mbox mbox = self.__archive_file(afn) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 157, in __archive_file return Mailbox.Mailbox(open(afn, 'a+')) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/testlist.mbox/csa-chapters.mbox' ========================== changing ownership to mailman:apache of the directories in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private corrects the issue as the mailman processes (which run as mailman) can now write to the directories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mailman 2. create newlist 3. enable archiving of messages 4. send message. fails to archive due to permissions. Actual Results: no archives. Expected Results: message gets archives
