Cannot load Perl modules due to effective UID/GID in Mailman plugin

    I tried sending an email for first time after Mailman Plugin update this morning for one of my mail lists and received the following error:


    Code
    1. SMTP Error (550): Failed to add recipient "listname@domain.ltd" (5.1.1 <listname@domain.ltd>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table).


    I have tried with Roundcube 1.25 and Thunderbird ...
    I can login to mailman admin and user pages. I can bounce replies from admin for passwords and help, but not to lists that have been setup. Any thoughts? I appreciate any input ...


    EDIT ADD: I am digging a little further and went into control panel to edit lists and I now have an unexpected error, and within database under mailman_status is:


    Code
    1. /var/www/imscp/gui/plugins/InstantSSH/backend/Capture/Tiny.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.20/autouse.pm line 53.

    I will update as necessary ..

    Edited once, last by texxasrulez: Additional errors from testing ().

    I tried to create a new list with a never before used name and got the error:


    Code
    1. Plugin::Mailman::_execMailmanCmd: Can't locate Capture/Tiny.pm: /var/www/imscp/gui/plugins/InstantSSH/backend/Capture/Tiny.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.20/autouse.pm line 53.

    Ofcourse, there is not a capture directory under /var/www/imscp/gui/plugins/InstantSSH/backend.


    I am taking server offline today for scheduled cleaning so I will be back later for more info ... Thank you and have a nice weekend

    Problem confirmed. This is due to the fact that in the Mailman plugin, I'm temporarely changing the effective UID/GID of the process to ensure that files are created with expected ownership and permissions. However, by doing this, I make the process temporarely unable to read some directories. I'll fix the problem by passing required additional groups to SETGROUPS(2) and a new version will be released.


    I've not seen that bug before because during my tests, there was no other plugin adding paths in Perl @INC which is the array containing paths that Perl look for when loading modules. Also, there was no module was lazy-loaded. This is a critical issue.

    It is all good. I know what you mean when it comes to testing ... Gotta look at it from way too many angles .... Thanx as always ....

    To resume the situation with two commands:


    Here, I don't set additional EGID and so, mailman list user cannot access some directories that are not world-readable

    Shell-Script
    1. root@jessie:~# LANG=C perl require.plReal gid: 0 0Effective gid: 38 0Real uid: 0Effective uid: 38Can't locate iMSCP/Execute.pm: /var/www/imscp/engine/PerlLib/iMSCP/Execute.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.20/autouse.pm line 53.

    Here, I set required additional EGID and so, mailman list user can access the directories

    • 38: list group
    • 1000: imscp group
    • 1001: vu2000 group

    I hope you understand the issue.
