I have recently installed mailman package (mailman-1.0b5/Python-1.5.1) and with some minor tweeking have gotten it up and running. I have created the test list and have run into some problems with the feature of allowing only list members to be able to post. I have no problems with members posting, however, I have run into errors from the scripts when a non user attempts to post. As administrator, I receive two copies of the email notification to permit the post and one copy from the mailer daemon indicating an "unknown mailer error 1". As a bit of backgroound information, I had to open up the data directory (777) to get the posting to work (otherwise receiving permission problems). The installation is on a Solaris 2.6 system. The following is the output from ~mailman/logs/error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
