To the list, and particularly to Daniel Liston:

I am setting up several lists on a virtual server.  So far, everything is
functioning as expected.  However, I am having no success in setting up
digests.  Daniel, your recent "cookbook" is great, but I do not seem to be
able to follow instructions properly.

Specifically, when I send a message to the test list it is not posting.
Majordomo is coughing up an error, which is as follows:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing,nobody"
    (reason: can't create (user) output file)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Message delivered to mailing list < >
550 5.0.0 "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test
test-outgoing,nobody"... Can't create output

/*** end of error messages ***/

After looking at everything many times, I feel that the error is in the
aliases file.  The significant portions of the file are as follows:

test: "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing,nobody"
test-outgoing:
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/test,test-archiver,test-digestify
test-request: "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l test"
test-list:
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/test,test-archiver,test-digestify
test-archiver: "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -f
/usr/local/majordomo/archives/test/test -a -M"
test-digestify: "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l test-digest
test-digest-outgoing"
test-digest: test,
test-digest-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/test-digest
test-digest-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l
test-digest"
test-digest-outgoing:
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/test-digest,nobody

/*** end of aliases file ***/

I have double-checked all of the referenced directories and their
permissions.  They are all present and have 755 permissions.  The owner of
majordomo owns the directories.

I am convinced that I am overlooking something that is perfectly obvious to
anyone who is not too close to the issues.  Please, somebody, tell me what
it is!  Thanks in advance.
