Yes I deleted it and when there is a post to the list, it is created again, with the posting in the file. [Note: (the "cat" file in the list dir has a permission 665, strange, ah? ... I have "umask 002" in my rc.init). I am not sure if this is a good idea but should I change the ../.bin/ files to add the path to the excutables? [like "cat=/bin/cat"; now it is "cat=cat"] Zhiliang On Mon, 20 Jun 2005, dmacdoug wrote:
Oops I meant, have you tried deleting that file named cat? Sorry about the typo.

I got a bunch of errors like following in my Smarlist log file:

One odd thing is every successfully posted mail is saved into a file called "cat" in the list directory.
Have you tried simply that file named cat? It looks to me like it's trying to execute that file rather than the binary file /bin/cat which should be in your path. Why it's been created in the first place is another question.
