RE: [Mailman-Users] Web interface for adding lists.
This is a sendmail issue. You need to put an option in your sendmail.cf as follows:
O DontBlameSendmail=groupwritabledirpathsafe,groupwritableforwardfilesafe, groupwritableincludefilesafe,includefileingroupwritabledirpath,includefilein unsafedirpathsafe
Keep in mind that this is overriding file safeties and can compromise system security.
You may not need all of the previous options, you may want to try each one and see what works for better security. There may be an option that just tells Sendmail that it is a safe file for that file only.

Hi,
I did some archive browsing today and found lots of differing answers regarding a web interface for creating new lists.
Todd Pfaff gave some good detail about adding an aliases file within the mailman directory long ago 1999/2000
I tried his suggestion. I have the 3 aliases files created in my mailman directory. (aliases, aliases.dir, aliases.pag). I have the ownership & permissions set as he suggested in
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-December/002918.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-December/002918.html and http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-July/001837.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-July/001837.html
I have a few problems though... when I do the ./bin/newlist listname owner-email-address password 1 | tail +4 > aliases newaliases
as he suggests, it balks at newaliases. if I'm running as mailman, it gives a permission denied error. If I run as root, it balks and gives a WARNING: Group writable directory /home/mailman newaliases: cannot open /home/mailman/aliases: Group writable file
Please help.
I'm trying to set it up so I don't have to add lists for everyone.
