[Techtalk] Mailman not playing nicely

[Emma Jane Hogbin]

I upgraded my mailman software to 2.1.4, but I can't get messages through
to the lists anymore...I appear to be having a permission problem. But
I've already done:
	bin/check_perms -f (as root, and as list)
and it fixed two problems and says that No problems are found. But I'm
still getting the same error message.

Error message:
<gambit at xtrinsic.net>: Command died with status 1:
    "/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post gambit". Command output: Traceback
    (most recent call last):   File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/post", line 69,
    in ?     main()   File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/post", line 64, in main
    tolist=1, _plaintext=1)   File
    "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Switchboard.py", line 128, in enqueue
    msgfp = open(msgfile, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Tried this solution:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-March/017999.html
emmajane at xtrinsic:/usr/lib/mailman$ sudo bin/check_perms -f
directory must be at least 02775: /var/lib/mailman/logs (fixing)
directory permissions must be 02775: /var/lib/mailman/lists/gambit/en
(fixing)
Problems found: 2
Re-run as list (or root) with -f flag to fix
emmajane at xtrinsic:/usr/lib/mailman$ sudo bin/check_perms -f
No problems found

I've added /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/in with:
	chmod 775
	chown list

I've tried /var/log/mailman/error but ther'es nothing useful in there.
Does anyone have any other ideas on where I can look? Or what the problem
might be?

thanks,

emma
