This trace is not from Mailman 2.1.6 so I assume it is from your old 2.0.x version. You have a permissions problem. Have you run bin/check_perms since restoring back? It seems that the process of upgrading and restoring back may have left some things with the wrong group ownership or without SETGID. In particular, the post wrapper is either not SETGID or its group doesn't have permission to write '/usr/local/mailman/lists/cls-news/config.db' -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
