Greetings All, Searching the web, I learned that postfix uses the group id of the owner of file /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db when it runs mailman. So the fix was to change that file's permissions to: -rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 12288 Apr 18 23:49 aliases.db Thanks to all of you who responded to my query. Your support is appreciated.
