Hello Mark,
Thanks again for your help.
What does
ls -la
on Mailman's data/ directory show and what is the content of Mailman's data/aliases file?The /var/lib/mailman/data only shows the following file.
]# ls -l /var/lib/mailman/data lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mailman 25 Sep 30 2020 sitelist.cfg -> /etc/mailman/sitelist.cfg
As for the aliases, please take a look at below results.
]# ls -l /etc/mailman/aliases -rw-rw-rw- 1 root mailman 2840 Sep 21 12:41 /etc/mailman/aliases
Not the issue, but this probably shouldn't be other writable.
]# cat /etc/mailman/aliases
# The ultimate loop stopper address mailman-loop: /var/lib/mailman/data/owner-bounces.mbox ...
If this is a RHEL mailman package, please see https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344
As far as I know, in the RHEL package, Mailman's aliases are in /etc/mailman/ as you show.
I think the problem may be that the mailman
group does not have write
permission on /etc/mailman/. Permissions should be drwxrwsr-x
and
group mailman.
Try running Mailman's bin/check_perms to check and bin/check_perms -f
as root to fix errors, but don't worry about symlinks.

Hello Mark,
As you mentioned, I was able to delete a mailing list changing the permission of /etc/mailman as follows.
# ls -l /etc/ | grep mailman drwxrwsr-x. 3 root mailman 129 Sep 13 10:39 mailman
Thanks a million!
