Are you using SELinux? There might be a security policy issue. Normally, the list creation process creates the archives/private/listname/listname.mbox/ directory and the first archived message creates the archives/private/listname/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file. It seems that you have neither the directory or file for your lists. If you create the directories by hand (in the 'mailman' group and group writable and searchable and normally setgid although I don't think that setgid is really necessary), that may allow messages to be archived, but it doesn't answer the question of why the directories weren't created in the first place. There may be relevant messages in Mailman's 'error' log. Also, the unarchived posts may be in the shunt queue such that creating the directories and running bin/unshunt will archive those posts. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
