I'm using sendmail but don't know which permissions need changing. I thought this would have been the file which needed the correct permissions:- # ls -al /usr/local/mailman/mail total 48 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Jan 31 2004 . drwxrwsr-x 20 root mailman 4096 Mar 19 2003 .. -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 39385 Jan 31 2004 mailman If I have mailman running with UID root, I don't understand what the problem is. Should I just add mailman to the mail group? I guess this sounds like a FAQ... > -- > John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
