It looks like the web server (in this case) doesn't have permission the create files in the /usr/local/mailman/lists/OURLIST/ directory. Check that the owner:group and permissions on this directory are the same as other directories in /usr/local/mailman/lists/, e.g. /usr/local/mailman/lists/mailman/. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
