[Mailman-Users] Unknown mailer error 1 *sigh*

[David Smead]

Derek,

I should have kept better notes, but I'd guess that the no route is the
problem.  

Sendmail won't deliver to a setuid program unless the directory where the
process resides is writable only by the owner.  That means no group write
or `other' write priviledges.  Mailman requires that the `s' bit be set
for the group.

Sincerely,

David Smead
