Since I upgraded from 1.1something to 2.0beta5 (Using the Debian packages in the unstable dist):

Oct 31 09:47:04 2000 (23491) Delivery exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/nsw-consent.mbox/nsw-consent.mbox' Oct 31 09:47:04 2000 (23491) Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, in do_pipeline func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToArchive.py", line 31, in process mlist.ArchiveMail(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 197, in ArchiveMail self.__archive_to_mbox(msg) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 163, in __archive_to_mbox mbox = self.__archive_file(afn) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 149, in __archive_file return Mailbox.Mailbox(open_ex(afn, "a+")) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 578, in open_ex fd = os.open(filename, flags, perms) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/nsw-consent.mbox/nsw-consent.mbox'

check_perms reports nothing about the archives, they are set to root-only write though:

[root@dora] ~# ls -l /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/nsw-consent.mbox/nsw-consent.mbox 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root list 0 May 3 2000 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/nsw-consent.mbox/nsw-consent.mbox

Should I try setting them to 0664 instead of 0644?
