Oh yeah .. Shouldn't be a big deal but I threw another line in my fix-lists
file which makes sure the lists have the correct mode set on them. I've
never had a problem with this but I didn't want to receive a phone call
during the weekend so you might want to consider putting it in also.
chmod 644 /usr/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/* /usr/majordomo-1.94.5/digest/*

Robin-
Is /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists owned by the majordomo user?
Looks to me like majordomo does not have create/write permissions in your
lists directory...
