Those aliases are only for the one 'mailman' site list. You need a set for each list with it's own list name. E.g., <list>: "|/usr/local/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post <list>" and so on - a full set of 10 for each list. With Postfix you can do this 'automatically' from Mailman. You set MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py, and you add hash:usr/local/lib/mailman/data/aliases (or whatever the correct path is) to alias_maps in your Postfix main.cf. See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html> for more complete information. All of mailman's aliases will then be automatically maintained in usr/local/lib/mailman/data/aliases. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
