Now Mailman starts, and stops as desired when running as mailman user (both in virtual and non-virtual environments). However, running the service via systemd still fails. I now get a different traceback:

What are ownership and permissions on /opt/mailman/mm/var/locks/
Assuming they are
drwxr-xr-x mailman mailman
it must be the case that systemd is not running the
/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman startcommand as themailmanuser. I suspect this is a Fedora issue. I note that https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/understanding-and-administer... does not mention User or Group. You might try replacingExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start ExecReload=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman restart ExecStop=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman stop with ExecStart=sudo -u mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start ExecReload=sudo -u mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman restart ExecStop=sudo -u mailman /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman stop
This does not work. Systemd says it cannot find sudo (file). After updating in the commands "sudo" to "/bin/sudo" afterwards Systemd throws a different error message: PermissionError on /bin/sudo
This is tiring. At this moment I am left with the possibility that SELinux may be in the way. I cannot think of a way to prove this hypothesis. This is speculation. Perhaps I should try another installation method other than Virtual. I found Mailman3 in Fedora repository. Yes, it is packaged. May be I should try that or perhaps I should try the git version. I'd be happy to have a functioning Mailman before Friday.
