Following correspondence from both Piete Brooks and Nigel Metheringham I
have resolved the problem by ensuring that the symbolic link and file
were owned by daemon and changed the user option in the above
configuration from root to daemon.
Obviously the way mailing lists are handled at UBC will need an overhaul
- this is no mean task considering I have only started work here at UBC
three months ago and have inherited a minefield of a mailsystem. At
least Exim will simplify things - Sendmail will not help.
