[Mailman-Users] Mailman on multiple domains

[Scott Race]

Checked the permissions:

Mailman directory:
drwxrwsr-x   2 root       mailman    4096 Oct 31 16:41 mailman

Alias files:
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root   mailman 12582 Oct 31 16:41 aliases
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root   mailman 24576 Oct 31 16:41 aliases.db
-rw-rw----  1 apache mailman  3689 Oct 31 16:41 virtual-mailman
-rw-r-----  1 root   mailman 12288 Oct 31 15:44 virtual-mailman.db

Changed the file permissions to 660 on virtual-mailman.db and posts now
working!

Thanks a million.

The owner doesn't matter except the owner of aliases.db probably needs
to be 'mailman'. the other owners (aliases, virtual-mailman and
virtual-mailman.db don't matter.

What does matter is /etc/mailman needs to be group mailman and g+rws
and all four of aliases, aliases.db, virtual-mailman and
virtual-mailman.db need to be group mailman and g+rw.
