[Mailman-Users] List restoration help needed ASAP

[pelicancomputers]

could you elaborate on your comment for me...

my httpd daemons run as nobody...
my sendmail runs as root...

right now my mailman is dead and i'm wondering if it's
a permissions problem...although check_perms runs
fine, and sendmail to and from the internet works
perfectly...just not to any of my lists????

any ideas??

thanks.
