[Mailman-Users] Help with Mailman 1.1

[Jeffrey Kain]

Hi,

I've been using Mailman for awhile, and it was working well on our Redhat 
Linux box. This week I upgraded the hardware, and put a fresh copy of 
Mandrake 7.1 on the new machine, and I'm having trouble getting Mailman to 
work.

The administrative web pages come up OK, check_perms reports everything is 
OK, and check_db reports that all my list databases are OK. When I send a 
message to a Mailman address, I get the errors shown at the end of this 
message returned back to me from the mailer. In /var/messages, I get this 
error:

Aug 18 14:29:03 mail kernel: Security: denied hard link to 516.503 for UID 
8, EUID 8, process python:9059

I'm running Mandrake Linux 7.1, Kernel 2.215-4mdk. Other versions:

sendmail-8.9.3-Melissa-safe-2
apache-1.3.12-12mdk

Thanks in advance for any help!

Jeff
