Hello.

I'm running INN 2.3.2 (from Debian woody) and am trying
to inject articles via mailpost.

I've done some googling and know about using separate
aliases files to get the mailpost process to run
as uid/gid news/news and have done that.

However, whether I send email to one of the aliases
or whether I do:
   cat samplemail |/usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost -d local local.test
right on the command line (even as the news user), I always
get something like this:
   ndbm store returned -1, errno 13, key
   "Pine.LNX.4.44.0310012211270.12794-100000@animato.animato.arlington.ma.us"
    at /usr/lib/news/bin/mailpost line 361, <STDIN> line 25.

Any idea what's going on?  Posting from trn or Pnews or GNUS
or injecting articles via suck all works fine.

Thanks for any assistance!
