Hi,

Imagine how often I did? That's why I'm here! ;-)

What I didn't find was anything about listname.new and L.listname, 
the two files causing my irritations now.
I checked the mode (it allready was 664 for listname.new)

What I tried last was:
Deleting those files (which were owned by mail mail) and creating 
them new, owned by majordomo and mode 666. It worked once, my next 
try to subscribe ended with

  MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!
  chmod(33206, "/var/lib/majordomo/lists/folkmail.new"): Operation 
  not permitted

Permissions for listname.new were unchanged, L.listname was created 
new and again only owned by mail.


My suggestion: has Majordomo to be in the mail group too?

I can't try out for myself, I have to wait for the systems 
administrator and I don't want to bomb him with new 
pointless sugestions what to do for me again... 


Greetings

        Dennis
