Even creating a new list with the same name as an old is not consistent...
Here is an error I get creating a list that used to exist (as in the alias files exist already, and it is already in the db/accounts
[root@gluon mailman]# bin/newlist prospace-board
Enter the email of the person running the list: jnlewis@arachnerd.com
Initial prospace-board password:
Invalid list name prospace-board at /usr/lib/mailman/bin/smelist line 25.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/newlist", line 219, in ?
main()
File "bin/newlist", line 186, in main
sys.modules[modname].create(mlist)
File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/SME.py", line 43, in create
raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr)
RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/smelist addlist prospace-board (status: 255, Unknown error 255)
but it creates the list. bin/rmlist error's out with the same message, but does not remove the list
Notice this list has a "-" in the name. When I created a list without the "-", it created fine.
Creating a list via the webpage remembers what domain you created it in. Creating it from the command line puts it in the default domain.
Oh how I wish I new where mailman stores this information...
