Hi again,
	Many thanks for the reply there. The settings in my 
Defaults.py had picked up the hostname, so I set it to the correct 
name & everything's working now, including delete.
	Regarding the permissions for aliases.db, chmod 664 has done 
the trick. I think the issue that as posted a day or so ago regarding 
being unable to delete a list using the web interface on OSX Server 
is the incorrect permissions for that file as I had the same error 
until I had changed the permissions for that file.
	Thanks again for the reply.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
