mm-handler is contributed, unsupported software. However, your MTA is the process that executes it, so it must be readable and executable by your MTA which probably doesn't run in the mailman group. If you make it's permissions 755, it should work (or at least get to the next problem). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
