A newbie question here... Wondering if anyone has a sense how long a message takes to send before I can make changes to the membership list. The concern is if I make changes to the subscriber list too quickly (remove them), then those folks may not get the message. I'd presume it has to do with how big the list is, but does anyone have a sense of whether the server is tied up for more than a minute or two sending?
Thanks.... m -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of K.

The permissions of the directory are: drwxrwsr-x 6 user mailman 4096 Aug 26 2004 /home/mailman/lists Has anyone tried to do anything like this and gotten it to work? I'm wondering if it is actually a problem with the perl script running in taint mode so then it's not running the newlist program as setgid.
