I'm still using '.mailposts' I think.

Maybe there is some confusion here... I'm not using 'notify', but rather 
'mailposts'. However, I looked in my wiki.d/, and here's what I found:

[chr at aussie wiki.d]$ pwd
/home/chr/wiki.lyx.org/wiki.d

[chr at aussie wiki.d]$ ls -lad .*
drwxrwsr-x   2 apache chr  16384 28 aug 18.13 .

The version of PmWiki I am using is 2.1.beta22. If you think it helps, I 
can upgrade (I should do that anyway, but it'd be nice to fix the bug 
first). The reason I haven't upgraded is due to a rather strange (but 
unrelated) reason. From that computer I can't access pmwiki.org 
properly...  For instance, trying to retrieve the lastest pmwiki.tgz via 
'wget' results in this:

[chr at aussie ~]$ wget http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-latest.tgz
--18:27:10--  http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-latest.tgz
           => `pmwiki-latest.tgz'
Resolving www.pmwiki.org... failed: No such file or directory.



The really strange thing is that 'ping' and 'host' work:

[chr at aussie ~]$ host www.pmwiki.org; ping www.pmwiki.org
www.pmwiki.org is an alias for pmwiki.org.
pmwiki.org has address 38.119.121.196
pmwiki.org mail is handled by 0 pmwiki.org.
