I lied, it wasn't working.... I can't figure out *who* the list is running
as. although ps aux suggests it's list, it's not. Now things seem to be
working. But I had to 777 the /var/lib/mailman/qfiles directory. (I'd 777d
the "in" directory which is why I could send mail to the list.)
Sorry for the huge long paste. :/ As always, suggestions are appreciated. :)
