[Mailman-Users] Mail delivery failure

[Magnus Stenman]

You stuffed up the ownerships/permissions on the files/directories
while restoring from backup. 

Specifically this file was not possible to read:
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/tf-board_tolefriends.com/config.db

maybe try to run the included "check_perms"
or have a look at the backups for the proper attributes of the files.
