Re: owner-group getting emails

I'm not sure about the failures because I've not watched the MD log 
before, but Here's a line that is causing me some concern:

Sep 15 11:31:50 ourldsfamily.com majordomo[30210] {cathyvhunt 
<Her.Emailaddr>} ABORT chown(8, 512, 
"/opt/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/ldsmmpacificso.new"): Operation not permitted

And,  there's an empty group in the lists folder named ldsmmpacificso.new 
and I didn't create it. I'm looking at permissions now. A HA!!! For some 
reason the group on the lists folder, and some of the lists, was still 
512, from the old system. Drat! I hate when that happens.

I'll be watching now...

But, any other thoughts will be more than welcome.
