Greetings all in Mailman-Users world,

I have recently installed and configured (or so it would appear) Mailman
2.1.9 on top of Postfix 2.5 and Ubuntu 8.04.  I am up and running with my
first mailing list but I'm getting an error in my log file that continues to
baffle me.  Granted, it may be something simple, but I'm rather confused and
am turning to the collective wisdom of the Interwebs for answers.

A `tail` from my log file (/var/log/mail.log):

Feb 15 21:18:52 PyHost01 postfix/qmgr[15994]: 7C4586E0B8: from=<

and from my error log (/var/log/mail.err):

Feb 15 21:18:52 PyHost01 local[27832]: fatal: execvp /var/lib/mailman/mail:

Permission denied
Feb 15 21:20:01 PyHost01 local[27844]: fatal: execvp/var/lib/mailman/mail:
Permission denied


The above error messages repeat themselves with great frequency.  They don't
appear to be having an affect on operations as I can send and receive mail
and my mailing lists are working.

Any help or suggestions are welcomed and most appreciated.


Thanks!
Adam Roberts
