[Mailman-Users] Permissions Problems Subscribing Users

[twm139 at its.to]

I get the following error when users try to subscribe. However all of the admin
functions seem to work fine. BTW, where does mailman store the actual e-mail
addresses? In the config file?

I also tried upgrading to b9 but that really messed things up.:(

Note: I have sanitized some of the below message...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Terrence Martin
