[Mailman-Users] two questions

[Jon Carnes]

1) looks like you are either missing the directory structure for archive:
  ~mailman/archives
                    ../private
                    ../public 
or the rights are such that Mailman cannot access them

2) If you want Mailman to add the routes when you run "newlist -o ..." then 
it needs write access to the file.  Otherwise, you can simply add the entries 
yourself everytime you add a new list.
