554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1
I moved my mailman directory to a new mailserver. The old one died.
I pulled my files from my backup. What permissions needs to be on the
mailman qfiles? Or do I have oter issues? I read through the faq,
and dont seem to be able to find anything although I am getting a
little punch drunk from looking at terminal all night.
thanks

This appears to be a very old (2.0 vintage) Mailman, so I'm not certain about this, but if you have Mailman's bin/check_perms, run
bin/check_perms -f
as root until it finds no errors.
Essentially, everything needs to be group 'mailman', and group writable. In addition, /var/mailman/mail/wrapper (abd the other wrappers in /var/mailman/cgi-bin) needs to be SETGID.

It is quite old. I may end up reinstalling everything and
repopulating the membership. But, there are quite a few lists and
quite a few members. Id say around 70+ lists.

You should be able to update your existing installation and maintain your existing lists. The normal update process will update list data as necessary and preserve membership and map options from old to new.

/var/mailman/mail/wrapper should be SETGID - normally its permissions are 2755 and its user:group are root:mailman. The owner need not be root, it is usually whatever user installed mailman.
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/spool/mailman/qfiles/28b06832587685d7f1a7ebb30c4636a63e9b0a45.db' 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1
And the directory /var/spool/mailman/qfiles/ needs to be writable by the above group (mailman or ?). Normally, /var/spool/mailman and all its subordinate directories will have permissions 2775 and user:group root:mailman.
