Hi Mark, I decided to make a copy of the /var/mailman/data/aliases.db file yesterday. I wanted to see if it changed after the server rebooted. Well the server rebooted a couple of minutes ago and I took a look at the directory:
-rw-r----- 1 root mailman 41 Apr 12 11:39 adm.pw -rw-rw---- 1 root mailman 228933 Aug 2 15:17 aliases -rwxrwxr-x 1 mailman mailman 81920 Aug 2 15:17 aliases.db -rwxr-xr-x 1 mailman mailman 344064 Aug 2 22:32 aliases.db.bak -rwxrwsr-x 1 mailman mailman 0 Aug 1 2006 bounce- events-00481.pck (notice how the aliases, aliases.db and aliases.db.bak are all different sizes?) It appears that the aliase.db does somehow get reverted to an earlier version of itself (very weird) - but it would explain why I loosing lists and users. I took your advice and postalias aliases/postfix reload and that worked: corp-admin2:/var/mailman/data root# ls -l total 5376 -rw-r----- 1 root mailman 41 Apr 12 11:39 adm.pw -rw-rw---- 1 root mailman 228933 Aug 2 15:17 aliases -rwxrwxr-x 1 mailman mailman 344064 Aug 3 11:04 aliases.db -rwxr-xr-x 1 mailman mailman 344064 Aug 2 22:32 aliases.db.bak Your absolutely right, postifx isn't doing what it should on boot up. But where is that old db file coming from? still looking....
