I am now running [root@elmo msg]# rpm -qa | grep sympa sympa-2.7.3-7mdk on a LM 7.1 system. My mail program is: [root@elmo msg]# rpm -qa | grep postfix postfix-19991231-6mdk I have these entries in my aliases file: listmaster: root sympa: "| /var/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa " bounce+*: "| /var/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue sympa " sympa-request: listmaster sympa-owner: listmaster However, a [EMAIL PROTECTED] request goes in the queue as: [root@elmo msg]# pwd /var/lib/sympa/spool/msg [root@elmo msg]# ls -l total 8 -rw------- 1 root nobody 853 Nov 4 14:47 sympa.973365861.26685 -rw------- 1 root nobody 853 Nov 4 14:58 sympa.973367885.27002 Note the permissions of the request.

Why are the queue entries not owned sympa.sympa ? Or why aren't the permissions 666 so that sympa (running as user "sympa") can access them? What really confuses me is: Why is sympa ALLOWED TO RENAME the file??? TIA, Bill I should include some neat signature here, but I haven't thought of one yet.
