[BlueOnyx:08974] Mailing List Subscriber Editing Fails

[Aaron Greenspan]

Hi,

When trying to edit a mailing list, some my users are getting permission 
errors in the red band at the bottom of the site administration console. 
/var/log/messages says:

This is a particularly frustrating bug because a lot of time was spent 
editing the list before pressing the submit button, and there's no way 
to reproduce the changes quickly without a lot more manual data entry.

As a side note, all of these mailing lists, unlike the BlueQuartz setup 
I was used to, now have a number prepended to the list name, along with 
a dash. If you don't send e-mails to this arbitrarily numbered address, 
messages are held due to an explicit recipient violation. Changing that 
setting for each list requires some sleuthing (it's a setting somewhere 
in privacy options for mailman) and it's a general pain in the neck.

Also, in this case the user editing the list has administator 
permissions for the virtual site, so it doesn't make sense that she 
should be denied permission.
