Previously I got the Smartlist to work on this RH linux box. Today it quit working, nothing recorded in list log but this error in /var/log/maillog: Aug 25 17:21:30 neo qmail: 1251238890.973347 delivery 128: deferral: /bin/sh:_/var/list/.bin/flist:_Permission_denied/ The only thing I did during this time was to add 'r' permission for the web server to one of the list dir, but wonder why mail to any other list address and -request addresses all got this "permission" problem. I looked at file/folder permissions and don't see anything odd. e.g.: drwxr-sr-x 2 slist slist 4096 Aug 24 10:16 ~list/.bin -rwxr-xr-x 5 slist slist 25K Jan 18 2007 ~list/.bin/flist drwxr-sr-x 3 slist slist 4096 Aug 24 13:35 ~list/mylist etc. Any hint what could be wrong?
