[Mailman-Users] Crontab problems

[Michael Keukert]

Hi,

after installing the most recent mailman on my system - AND after
following all steps in the INSTALL as correct as possible, I keep
getting the following error messages:

> Jul 17 18:10:02 2002 gate_news(28727): Traceback (most recent call last):

Actually the permissions of that very file vary from all other mailman
permissions:

> catbert:/home/mailman/lists/test # la
> total 48
> drwxrwsr-x   2 root     mailman      4096 Jul 17 18:07 .

Where "wwwrun" is the user under which Apache runs on my system.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
