sudo mkdir /etc/mailman3 sudo chown mailman:mailman /etc/mailman3 sudo chmod 755 /etc/mailman3Then you can create all the subordinate files as the mailman user. For other things like the systemd service and the postfix and web server configs, you need to do them as root (via sudo).
is it really necessary that the mailman user can write that directory? For most services, directories and files in /etc/ may be readable for the service but usually not writable as you don't want the service itself change it's core configuration.
On your server it looks like this:
# ls -la /etc/mailman3 total 28 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root mailman 95 Oct 25 08:12 . drwxr-xr-x. 99 root root 8192 Oct 29 07:42 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root mailman 266 Oct 25 07:37 gunicorn.conf -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 92 Nov 21 2023 mailman-hyperkitty.cfg -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 797 Sep 9 11:20 mailman.cfg -rw-r-----. 1 root mailman 3015 Oct 25 08:12 settings.py
and it works just fine.
