The qfile cannot be opened for writing. This is either a permission problem or SELinux is denying access. You need to: 1) Verify the user/group the MTA is executing the post command under, then look at the permissions on the directory and file. 2) Examine /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/audit for "avc" messages, these log SELinux denials. 3) Try turning SELinux off (/usr/sbin/setenforce Permissive) 4) Contact me off list for a trial 2.1.6 rpm (I've created the rpm but have not tested it yet, you could be the guinna pig :-) BTW, the RHEL 4 mailman rpm already has the security patches that prompted the 2.1.6 release, but 2.1.6 has some other new stuff as well. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
