Hi all,

  I am a newbie self taught Linux user, so this is probably

embarrassingly simple. I have installed Mailman, run check_perms and fixed the errors from that, and my test list sends to me. However, the web pages and e-mail sent to the list both return messages (below). I think part or all of my problem is setting the server so Mailman is allowed to run CGI scripts. I have no idea where to set this permission, and am unsure of what to write to the appropriate file. I am running Redhat 7.1 and Ensim. Thanks in advance, Paul

Looks to me like you are running a later version of sendmail which uses a smrsh utility for the /etc/aliases file executions. If you have the source, read README.SENDMAIL and see if that is your problem. If you don't have that file. drop a a personal note and I'll send it to you.
