Trying to get attachments to another partition
Hello everyone,
Using a soft link as a substitute for the /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/my_list_name/attachments directory, I have tried to get my mailman installation to start putting attachments on another partition. This has not worked--I always get a "permission denied" error in the log. However, the link is accessible and the directory it points to is owned by the proper user.
Of course the overall problem is that /var is too small for the number of lists now running on this server, but I thought that if I redirected the attachments I could buy more time to get the storage. I cannot figure out why this is not working.
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Is the directory it points to (and subordinates) SETGID and in Mailman's group? For most (not quite all) Mailman files the owner is irrelevant; it's the group that counts.
