[Mailman-Users] regarding Mailman

Rachel

Thanx for your reply earlier( I had already done set-gid for the hidden
files).

As of now ,in the installation sequence check_perms doesnot give any error.

I have set up a windows NT webserver ( 135.16.108.86/28 using IIS).Mailman
is on 135.16.108.83

I have configured a user root on the NT who can run the  CGI scripts( since
he is logged as root) . Also I have IIS configured for

a)default  website http://135.16.108.86/Paintings/mailman.jpg
b)scripts having redirection on the web server to
135.16.108.83/home/mailman/cgi-bin
c)mail having rediredtion to 135.16.108.83/home/mailman/archives/public
d)cgi-bin having redirection to 135.16.108.83/home/mailman/cgi-bin
e)images  ------------------------->
135.16.108.83/root/mailman/mailman-1.1/misc/mailman.jpg

Executing the admin script from the Internet explorer gives error I am
attaching with as a file.
Also please find attached the mail file in /var/spool/mail directory.

Request you all to send your advise. (We don't have apache & have to do
everything on the NT IIS).
