If you followed the approved/official HOWTO - https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html - then you really should not be having the problems you are facing.
-- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON,
Thanks for the reply. The permissions were originally such that everything in /opt/mailman was owned by mailman. I changed it because of the error message I got, which made me think there might be a permissions problem. In fact, it shouldn't have made a difference one way or the other since I Kept the group as mailman and the files are rw for both owner and group.
In any case, here it is changed back:
ls -l total 68 -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Oct 15 12:53 postfic_vmap.db -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 12:53 postfic_vmap.db.db -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 353 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_domains -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_domains.db -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 12:53 postfix_domains.db.db -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 1155 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_lmtp -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_lmtp.db -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 12:53 postfix_lmtp.db.db -rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 1118 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_vmap -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Oct 15 13:37 postfix_vmap.db
