Harald,

Unfortunately .. it didn't work :(

I am using Redhat 6.0, Mailman v1.0rc1, users' umask is 022, using qmail 1.03 and I didn't install mailman as root

I tried manually changing the file permissions to chmod 644, but Mailman reverts it back to chmod 600 the next time I posted something to the list.

I am getting desperate here .. :)

PS: MY installation can be viewed at http://listserv.mysmac.com/

Hi. {This problem was actually posted at mailman-users lists, but I didn't get any responses .. so I think I'll try here :) }

Sure -- I'm trying to catch up with mailman-users, but unfortunately I'm still pretty far behind...

...

Whenever I am trying to access my public archive, I get an error message .. the normal "denied access error". A quick file permission check shows that the *.txt.gz file has a chmod 600 permission (hence denied access).

Small oversight in the archiving code, I believe. Please try this patch:

Part 1.2 Type: Plain Text (text/plain) Description: Patch to create gzipped text archives with correct mode

If this fixes your problem, let me know, and I'll commit the change.
