Not exactly. I have 

MTA = "Postfix"

in mm_cfg.py. Do the spaces matter?

As for the aliases dir I have:

-rw-r-----  1 root     mailman     41 Sep 10 17:51 adm.pw
-rw-rw----  1 root     mailman   1922 Sep 11 10:53 aliases
-rw-r-----  1 mailman  mailman  65536 Sep 11 10:53 aliases.db
-rw-rw----  1 mailman  mailman      6 Sep 11 10:50 master-qrunner.pid

Something keeps changing the ownership of the aliases file to root.
I had chowned it to mailman:mailman earlier today.

While trying to remember what "mailwrapper" represents I read "man mailwrapper" 
and realized that /usr/sbin/sendmail is supposed to be a symlink to 
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper, and it was not. It was a link to 
/usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail. Ack. 

Well that didn't solve the problem either.

By the way, do I need to run 'mailmanctl restart' every time I make a change in 
mmm_cfg.py?

I have been all over this page and site. The problem is with the NetBSD package 
build I'm thinking.
