[Mailman-Users] OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

[Barbara Johansen]

I just installed Mailman on our Mandrake 7.1 server with Sendmail 8.11
installed.
When I add a new list, the list-owner does not get a mail.
When I try to subscribe through the webpages, I hit a Bug.
The same when I try to see the admin webpages
	mailman/admin/4test/ 
	mailman/admin/4test

Bug in Mailman version 2.0.1

We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. 
 
The error log says:
