Sorry about that. I'm on a debian box running 'debian testing (sarge)' uname -a: Linux pi 2.4.21 #2 Tue Jul 15 21:49:17 PDT 2003 i686 GNU/Linux The installed debianized mailman package info, Package: mailman Status: install ok installed Installed-Size: 21352 Maintainer: Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen .at. debian -dot- org> Version: 2.1.2-6 > installation.

I'm attaching the logrotate files per your suggestion. Nothing looked out of place to me. The file is being created correctly, I'm just surprised that mailman would even touch a non-existent as far as its concerned (mailman know not about post.1 and logrotate) unless the file-handler is kept in a constant open state by mailman or something. Let me know what you find out. Thanks. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
