The problem here may be a matter of permissions.  You are calling a perl
script to modify directories and files and Perl does not like setuid.
If you modify the directory where your archive is stored to have
permission 777 and all the files in it to have permission 666 your setup
should work.

I thought I would change it and see what happens and I still get the
same error:
ERROR: "/home/httpd/virtuals/directory/list/2000" does not exist

mailer error 2

I could try doing it with procmail but I have yet to find a newbie
procmail example to help me come up with a solution.

Still trying,
