can't open log & can't send to lists

["Daniel Tatone" <dtatone @ edgeeffect . com>]

Hi there,

I'm running Majordomo ver.1.94.4 on Redhat Linux 7.3.

And I've got two issues:

1. whenever a user sends a command to majordomo, majordomo-owner (myself)
gets a message stating:
    MAJORDOMO NOTICE: Can't open log
    Why is this and how do I correct it?

Users are able to subscribe properly... but...

2.When a user sends a message to the list, it does not get delivered and the
majordomo-owner gets the following message:

       ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
:include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/listname
    (expanded from: <listname@domain.com>)
   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.2.4 :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/listname... Cannot open
/var/lib/majordomo/lists/listname: Group writable directory
Message delivered to mailing list <listname@domain.com>

    Why is this and how do I correct it?

I followed the INSTALL, NEWLIST, README, and FAQ docs. and the archives are
not searchable so I haven't found a similar situation online...
aliases, virtualuser tables, conf files, permissions seem to be all right...

any ideas?

thanks
