We should probably cover this in the docs, but for /etc/mailman3, you should do
```
sudo mkdir /etc/mailman3
sudo chown mailman:mailman /etc/mailman3
sudo chmod 755 /etc/mailman3
```
Then you can create all the subordinate files as the mailman user. For other things like the systemd service and the postfix and web server configs, you need to do them as root (via sudo).

is it really necessary that the mailman user can write that directory? For most services, directories and files in /etc/ may be readable for the service but usually not writable as you don't want the service itself change it's core configuration.

On your server it looks like this:

# ls -la /etc/mailman3
total 28
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root mailman   95 Oct 25 08:12 .
drwxr-xr-x. 99 root root    8192 Oct 29 07:42 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root mailman  266 Oct 25 07:37 gunicorn.conf
-rw-r-----.  1 root mailman   92 Nov 21  2023 mailman-hyperkitty.cfg
-rw-r-----.  1 root mailman  797 Sep  9 11:20 mailman.cfg
-rw-r-----.  1 root mailman 3015 Oct 25 08:12 settings.py

and it works just fine.

Regards,

Gerald
