	I'm sorry if this post has appeared more than once but I haven't
seen it come back through the list and the problem is fairly critical.  I
need to get it fixed by Monday.  Thank you for your patience.

	First let me say that I have been all over the FAQ and the list
archives and I haven't found an answer to this particular problem I have.  
Lots of stuff that's close and very similar but not the same.

I am running -

Majordomo 1.94.5 (built from the tarball)
Red Hat Linux 6.2 system with upgraded RPMs 
perl version is 5.00503
sendmail is 8.9.3

	I have setup some test lists and, as seems to happen with this
kind of problem, you can subscribe, unsubscribe, get the list and who and
all that.  You just can't post to the list.  The error message from
sendmail is -

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/kegnet... Cannot open
/usr/local/majordomo/lists/kegnet: Permission denied
554 kegnet-list... aliasing/forwarding loop broken


	The strange part of the problem is that in the FAQ and the list
archives it says to make all the directories chmod 750 and the files 644
(or 640 as needed) and things should work.  Here is the listing of the
majordomo directory and the lists directory so you can see that I do have
the ownership and permissions set correctly as far as I can tell from the
docs/FAQ/list archives -

	If anyone has any idea what I need to do to get this working
please let me know.  It's a very important project and if I can get this
working it will be a HUGE boost for the open source world.
