[Mailman-Users] Unable to create new list

[Andreas Nitsche]

Hello Mark,

thanks for your answer. I didn't see any SELinux issues, therefore I 
didn't thought it would be a SELinux issue. But since I turned off 
SELinux everything works fine with exactly this permissions. The thing 
is: while I have a setup for several domains and each of them has their 
own mailman instance I need to seperate the users. So the user for the 
domain zaubert.net is called mailman-zaubert.net. I compiled mailman 
with these settings. Even the webserver is running with this user.

greetings
Andi
