The perms look OK, but I do remember many months ago that the "smtp" logfile would sometimes revert to being owned by root rather than mailman. Very odd. If it is a permissions problem on a log, should that actually cause the message to get shunted? If that is what's happening, perhaps I should put that in the SF bug tracker... >> Lastly, what are ".pck" files?
