Hi,

I've set up a Mac OS X server basically for the sole purpose of being a listserv. I set up server, created one list called test through the Apple gui, and then verified that the I was receiving mail.

Then i attempted to create a list through the web interface and got this error. Can anyone tell me why this happened? Is this a problem with Apple's permissions? I have done no customization to the server other than running install CD and then activating Mailman, and then creating my to test lists.

Thanks alot, Michael
