Is anyone here using Mailman on OS X? I've followed the instructions put together by Kathleen Webb at <http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg12599.html> but keep getting this when I try to create a 'test' list:I'm not an expert, but this looks like a problem with permissions. Have you tried running check_perms,
[ibb-80:~] mailman% /Applications/mailman/bin/newlist
Enter the name of the list: test
Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Initial test password:

I could sure use some hints on what might be wrong.
which is in the mailman/bin directory. It will tell you if all the permissions are set correctly, and
if not, you can run it again to fix them.
