[Mailman-Users] web interface for creating new list

[Dan Phillips]

First, many thanks to David Gibbs for his help in answering my ignorant 
questions about updating a plaintext patched MM-2.0.13. My lists all 
seem to be functioning fine, and the enhancements to the program are 
amazing.

Has anyone put together an OS X style StartupItems folder for the 
qrunner daemon?

I did have one problem - trying to create a new list with the web 
interface generated the following:

================
My setup:

Mac OS X Server 10.2.3
Postfix 1.1.11
Apache 1.3.27
MM-2.1

I'm guessing this is a permissions issue? The postalias command is 
"root:staff -rwxr-xr-x" and the data/aliases file is "mailman:mailman 
-rw-rw-r--"
