I run exim too, and it works fine. Getting mailman to talk to exim is a
step I haven't even gotten to yet, so far I am just trying to get
Mailman to create a list.

I have tried this. However, I get the exact same error as before:
admin(704): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 591,
in __load
admin(704): fp = open(dbfile)
admin(704): IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/local/mailman/lists/friends/config.pck'
I have attached the whole error log in case it helps.
The "config.pck" file exists, and it has 660 permissions:
-rw-rw---- 1 Ben None 3607 Dec 22 12:10 config.pck
As before, it is the 660 permission bits, not the owner/group, which is
causing Mailman to choke. I can't understand why Mailman's 'newlist'
uses this permission mask to create files which Mailman will
subsequently refuse to read.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
