Help me understand what i read above, the >"2.1.5-4" part... You are not reading the output wrong, but you are confirming what Brad wrote. Namely that you are running a version of Mailman which was packaged by Debian (or someone for Debian) as opposed to one installed from source on your system. Jim Tittsler has responded to some of your mm_cfg.py issues, but with issues involving prepackaged versions, you might consider seeking help from the provider of the package. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
