I ran it and the following is the output: dentserv:~ locadmin$ sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/check_perms -f Password: Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x). This could allow other users on your system to read private archives. If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the installation manual on how to fix this. /private/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman.db owned by root (must be owned by _mailman (fixing) /private/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman.db permissions must be 066x (got 0100640) (fixing) Problems found: 2 Re-run as _mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix > Also make sure your list's Mailman web admin Archiving Options -> > Archive messages? setting is Yes.

Thank you, Mark. I am glad I've caught that before launching the list as it will hold discussions that are required to be maintained private and confidential (HIPAA law).
