Hi Ashley, But according to Ted's posting his config.db had the nobody:mailman permission - not the mailman:mailman permission - so when the cron is run the permissions will change from nobody:mailman to mailman:mailman (rw-rw----) right?
To avoid this should the cron be run as nobody:nogroup - and the mailman group is retained resulting in nobody:mailman? Thanks for your help with this - I have nearly no hair left!
