[Mailman-Users] aliases assistant

[Diana Huang]

Hi Mark,

Pretty thanks. I followed your steps to change the perssion. 
/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist works pretty well. After I create a list by 
using bin/newlist, /etc/mailman.aliases has aliases for that list. However, 
when I create a list in the web (http://mydomain.com/mailman/create), I got 
some errors (See the following).  And /etc/mailman.aliases doesn't have 
aliases for the list I created, but /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases file 
does have aliases for that list

My web server runs as 'www', so my /etc/sudoers file is like this

www All= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases
mailman ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases

Is it still file permission problem? (looks like...but I did change the 
permission )

Thanks, Diana
