[Mailman-Users] test list problems

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I managed to get mailman installed. Thanks to everyone. Now I'm trying
out a test list (I'm set up as "person running the list"), and I get the
back the error:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Mailman error: post got bad listname: evolistmn
554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post evolistmn"... unknown mailer error

Bellow is output from my /var/log/maillog. I don't see any reference to
invalid gid (as suggested in the troubleshooting section of the INSTALL
file). Any ideas as to where my problems lay? I am also concerned with
the message "Mailbox vulnerable", does this mean simply that the
permissions are not set properly on /var/spool/mail?

Thanks,

Kirk
