Hey Richard! Thanks for the reply :)
I did the check_perms -f (twice for good measure), and it found nothing...
But why would my logs be empty? Are there directives in mm_cfg.py that I'm missing, perchance? The only logs that have anything are bounce (that was back in May) and error.1.gz (which was an apachectl stop/startssl)

Looking at your listing for the logs directory, most of the files are not group writable. My guess is that is why not a whole lot is being written to them.
I note that only the bounce, error and mischief logs are group writable and those seem have some contents.
_All_ the files in my MM log directory have the following permissions:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 72692 Jun 17 22:37 post
and the logs directory has the following permissions
drwxrwsr-x 3 mailman mailman 4608 Jun 17 00:45 logs
I think the set gid on the directory keeps everything in order as log rotation is done.
I confess I am surprised that check_perms did not find any problems. It may be worth setting the permissions by hand and seeing if that makes any difference.
btw: what are you using to do your log rotation.
Richard
Thanks! Glenn
