An owner notification may be sent to 'list-owner' which if received would indicate that mail to 'list-owner' originating from 'localhost' is properly delivered back to Mailman, so something may work, but mail to 'list' originating from wherever you send it from doesn't seem to work. >The /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db gets updated. >For what is the systemwide mailing list "mailman" used?

I think the manual is current, but I don't use postfix, so I don't know for sure. As I said before, there isn't any more I can offer you. There are others on this list who know more about configuring postfix than I do, but this is a Mailman list. You might find more help from a postfix list or from your packager. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
