Here is an interesting mail problem that I can't seem to figure out.  I got
an email returned with the following error message

    ----- Transcript of session follows -----
 550 :include:/www/ocbarr/maillist/boardml.txt... Cannot open
/www/ocbarr/maillist/boardml.txt: Group writable directory
 554 <board@domain.com>... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

Permissions of /www/ocbarr/maillist are
drw-r--r--   2 spirit  spirit   512 Dec 13 17:09 maillist
(not group writable)

boardml.txt permissions are
-rw-r--r--  1 spirit  spirit  291 Dec  5 07:04 boardml.txt

and the file just contains a list of email address, one per line.

in /etc/virtusertable I have
board@domain.com                          board_ocb@server.com

board_ocb in /etc/aliases is
board_ocb:
:include:/www/ocbarr/maillist/boardml.txt


Anyone have any ideas why this is getting hung up.  I first had the group
writable problem when I upgraded to Sendmail 8.9.1 and changing the
permissions which seemed to solve the problem.  I have been messing around
with majordomo digests and such, but this isn't getting routed through
majordomo as far as I can see.

sendmail -bv board_ocb produces the same error message as above.

Does anyone have any clues what might be happening here?

Jerry
