Re: [Mailman-Users] ? accessing public archives
Hallo Mark,

But when I try to connect to duinheks.xs4all.nl/pipermail/amc-support I get a "403: forbidden" error: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /opt/mailman/archives/public/amc-support What else should I look at?

This link cannot be found :( But I think I found what you mean :)
I now configured Mailman with --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=www and all seems to work. A bit strange, because if I read the entry for --with-cgi-gid correctly, www should be taken as default.
Another thing I don't understand is this: originally I configure with --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=bbs --with-cgi-gid=www but then Mailman complained because the mail server (postfix) was running with group mailman instead of bbs. But postfix does not belong to group mailman...

It works for me, but there are mirrors at <http://mailman.sf.net/mailman-install/node9.html> and <http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node9.html>.
Also, since you are apparently installing from source, it is in the source directory at admin/www/mailman-install/node9.html.

The warning box I refer to talks about the necessity for the web server to have search (x) permission on the archives/private directory, either by that directory being world searchable or owned by the web server user. configure and make install will create this directory world searchable (o+x) and owned by the user that ran make install (normally root), but bin/check_perms will warn you about this. If you then remove the world searchable (o-x) without changing the owner (but not the group), then you can't access public archives.

Postfix runs a pipe as the user that owns the aliases file in which the pipe is found.
