[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.5 - Local customizations is beingignored

[Henrik Rasmussen]

Hi Mark

It seems that we had put the copy in /usr/lib/mailman/lists/<mylist>/da
instead of /var/lib/mailman/lists/<mylist>/da/ where the config.pck is.
Thanks.

See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp>
(which you might have found if you'd searched the FAQ for 'template'
instead of 'customize').

Correct.

No. The only requirement is that the template be in one of the places
discussed in the above referenced FAQ, and that it be readable by the
mailman group.

Is the lists/<mylist>/ directory the existing directory that contains
the list's config.pck file?

Is the lists/<mylist>/da/verify.txt file you created readable by the
mailman group (i.e. group mailman and group readable or world
readable)?
