Description Sergio A. Kessler 2000-06-05 15:14:17 UTC 
when the listar.listar user.group is created, the shell is assigned 
to /bin/false, impeding doing su - listar to create lists with the propers
permiss.

Also the directory /home/listar is created as 700, impeding sendmail
to search in that directory to execute the listar executable.

You should try out the version in rawhide. It has been reworked quite a bit in
the spec file, the home dir is /var/listar as well (FHS compliance). Here is a
file listing from the newer package in rawhide:

If you can try this one out it should work for you. Also, if you change
/etc/passwd to read /bin/bash for the shell does it work for you?
