Thread-topic: Error Msg sending newsletter

I checked permissions on my subscriber files, but still get the error.
The directory structure down to majordomo is not group writable. 
I installed with daemon as group, but majord is not member of it.
any other hints?
must the dir structure be group writable? 
I'm SysAdmin but I don't know Sendmail and its behaviors......
any help is apreciated a lot.

Maurizio

Check the ownership/permission on your new majordomo installation. If
you are running sendmail on the new server, it might now allow group or
world "writable" permission down the path to majordomo's directory.  For
example, /, /usr, /usr/local, /usr/local/majordomo. Sendmail will also
complain about group or world writable :include: files in your lists
directory.  These are your list membership or zubscriber files.
