This is the whole problem. The list config has been changed from a public to a private archive. This in turn causes Mailman to try to remove the '/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/askref' symlink any time the list is 'saved', but in your case some prior (non-Mailman) copying/moving process has replaced the symlink with copies of the then existing files and directories in '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/askref' The solution is to simply remove the directory '/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/askref' and also '/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/askref.mbox' if it exists. If the archive is ever made public again, Mailman will create the proper symlinks. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
