[Mailman-Users] Fw: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 1

[Orion (Steve Pirk)]

I would check the permissions of you mailman install.
It looks like the setuid bit might be misssing.
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/mailman/lists/test/config.db'
554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test "... unknown mailer error 1

Make sure you run the commands to properly set up the mailman dir:
% cd $prefix (mailman home dir)
% chgrp mailman .
% chmod a+rx,g+ws .
