There may be a problem with check_perms. We won't know for sure until we find the immediate problem. >yet when I try to create a list, >the web UI says: > >"Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 \ >We're sorry, we hit a bug! \ >Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem.

Then verify that the directories /usr/local/mailman/, /usr/local/mailman/archives/ and /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/ are all group 'mailman' and group writeable. Also, the directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/potopoto.mbox/ should not exist at this point. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
