Here is the error i get when using the web interface. Again, it creates the list and the admin interface works and it will send messages. You can't send it messages. "user unknown" error.

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!

RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /private/var/ mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted)

I'm familiar with this error from 10.3, but hadn't seen it in 10.4.

As it says, the permissions are wrong to run postaliases. IIRC, the script adds the aliases created by mailman (listname-subsribe, listname-confirm, etc.) to general mail aliases.

As a temporary fix, just run

sudo postalias

That will update the aliases and your lists will start working. As a permanent solution... hmmm, I'm stumped, because I thought repairing mailman permissions is what fixed it when the problem happened to me. You've already done that. Maybe try repairing OSXS permissions?
