There doesn't appear to be a good reason. This has been changed for Mailman 2.1.8 so that the 'default' umask will be 007 and also the specific creation of the bounce-events queue file will have no permission for 'other'. The changes to bin/mailmanctl and Mailman/Queue/BounceRunner.py have been committed to CVS and can be seen (soon) at <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/>. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
