[Mailman-Users] OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

[Barbara Johansen]

Theese locked files come as soon as I try to subscribe to a list.
I does not help to remove them.

I try a complete new installation,
run the securelinux_fix
but the problem is the same:

No subscribing mail after newlist, newalias.
But the logs/smtp said:
Feb 08 13:26:00 2001 (5182) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.424 seconds
Does that indicate that a message IS send?
Where can I find it?

When I try to subscribe through the web the "Hit a bug" message appears.

The error log shows nothing until I try to subscribe through the web.
