[Mailman-Users] From a newbie

[Elena Fraboschi]

Hi Jon,  Here is the logs directory.

# ls -ltr
total 20
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman      454 Mar 11 13:37 subscribe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman        0 Mar 11 14:06 error
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman       98 Mar 11 14:08 post
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman      963 Mar 11 14:29 smtp
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman        0 Mar 11 15:52 vette
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mailman  mailman     6756 Mar 11 16:16 qrunner

I did not have a "vette" file, so I created with cp /dev/null vette
"vette" and "error" give nothing.  "post" gives the sole message
that was delivered:

Mar 11 14:08:04 2003 (11306) post to mailman from elena at inca.math.indiana.edu, 
size=1825, success

"smtp" shows other messages that were received, and that form part
of digest.mbox, though they were never delivered:

qrunner shows a completely normal qrunner.

I am beginning to suspect that, with so much "tweaking," I may
have corrupted permissions.  "check_perms" still says "No
problems found."  I wonder whether anyone can look into the
Mailman and the tests directories (just for random sampling)
and say whether their permissions are 755 or 775.  I think
I am looking at a re-install, without really knowing what to
do differently. :-(  Many thanks, elena
