Did you run 'check_perms -f'?

Yes (as root). Followed by unshunt (as mailman) as Dan Phillips suggested. I didn't get any errors. However, I still get the same error when I try to login to some of my lists webpages, but not others. I'm including what shows up immediately below. I get similar errors when some of the cron jobs run.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that I (naively) set up a mailman list called mailman, so any e-mail to mailman goes to that list? I tried to delete the mailman list (using rmlist) but I got an error similar to the others I've been describing.

Certainly, errors in sending the password reminders could be due to messing with a list called mailman, since that is the default "site list" name which is the address of record for sending out those pw reminders, although I don't know what Apple uses. Take a look at the top of mailman/data/sitelist.cfg; the first line should tell you the name of the site list. Another check to make is to run "bin/check_db mailman" and see what it tells you. After running unshunt, is qfiles/shunt now empty?

The "site list" is, in fact, "Mailman".

I ran the commands "check_db -v mailman" and "unshunt" as root.

The results of check_db -v mailman: List: mailman /private/var/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck: okay /private/var/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck.last: okay [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/var/mailman/lists/mailman/config.db' [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/var/mailman/lists/mailman/config.db.last'

As far as unshunt is concerned, the result was to reduce the number of files in qfiles/shunt to a small number. There are now some files in qfiles/in and lots in qfiles/virgin.
