[Mailman-Users] MacOSX List Creation and Deletion failure through web interface

[mbonanno]

Hi,

I've set up a Mac OS X server basically for the sole purpose of being a 
listserv.  I set up server, created one list called test through the 
Apple gui, and then verified that the I was receiving mail. 

Then i attempted to create a list through the web interface and got this 
error.  Can anyone tell me why this happened?  Is this a problem with 
Apple's permissions?  I have done no customization to the server other 
than running install CD and then activating Mailman, and then creating 
my to test lists.

Thanks alot,
Michael
