[Mailman-Users] problems getting mailman to work with qmail

[tom]

thanks for the quick response; unfortunately, no such luck :(
fbsd doesnt have a nofiles group, but qmail apparently needs a
'qnofiles' group.. but anyway, mailman didn't work with it.

thanks again, ill keep workin at it.. and let everyone know how i got it
workin (if i do...)
