As long as mail to the list at that domain gets delivered to the new server.

It would be nice though to have some feature to enable, for example, spoof proof posting to a one-way (announce only) list. One thought on how to do this would be to have a list attribute that says posts from 'authenticated' owners and moderators can be auto approved and authentication could be by PGP signing the post. This would require Mailman to have the ability to verify a PGP signature from an owner or moderator which is not currently the case. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Because Mailman was trying to create it and couldn't. I suspect you ran `mailman create` as root and the /var/lib/mailman3/lists/templist.sartrack.nz/ got created with user:group as root:root rather than the mailman user and group. Recent Mailman versions won't run the `mailman` command as root without a --run-as-root option for this reason. How are you installing Mailman? > The mailing server does not send out any emails for "templist" This is a separate issue from the above error, but it might also be a permissions error.

It seems you may be using the Debian packages as our source has no `debian` layout. I.e., if you are installing with pip in a virtualenv, there would be no `debian` layout.

I'm not sure what is and isn't currently working, but Moderators and Owners get notices of things like held messages and subscriptions and can approve or deny them.

An Owner of one list should not be able to do things to other lists. If you're looking for more granularity in permissions on a single list, Owners can do anything, and Moderators should only be able to deal with held requests, but there's no granularity beyond that. > In MM2 there was a ML password that moderator/list admin would use to > login to perform operations. > > Current setup allows list admins to add/delete existing lists which is > not desired.

You can make an edited template in the var/templates/ directory. The logged-in user can go to her settings pages in Postorius at accounts/subscriptions/ to set delivery status.
