You may find it easier to use Postfix-Mailman integration as described at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>, but that may cause group mismatch errors if you don't already have them, so I suggest not doing that immediately. >The error response "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" comes in by email, >and the Postfix mail log says: >---------- >Dec 5 15:27:04 localhost postfix/pipe[3185]: 15373754FE: to=<[EMAIL >PROTECTED]>, >relay=maildrop, delay=0.07, delays=0.04/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced >(user unknown. >Command output: Invalid user specified. ) >---------- > >The Mailman logs show no activity, i.e. the message has not been handled by >Mailman.

Actually, it's trying to deliver to a maildrop. See <http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html> >Aliases contains this line: >---------- >test: "|/var/www/html/mailman/mail/mailman post test" >---------- > >I've 'set allow_mail_to_commands = alias' in Postfix's main.cf. It never gets to your alias because the maildrop delivery takes priority. >The question for Mailman experts who also know Postfix is - is this clearly a >problem with my Postfix setup, or could the problem be that I have the wrong >--with-mail-gid ?? If I had the mail-gid wrong, would this show up in the >Mailman logs? It is not a group mismatch. No, a group mismatch is not logged in Mailman, but there will be a clear message from the wrapper both in the Postfix log and the DSN sent back to the poster. >After painfully trying lots of systematic changes to the Postfix setup without >success, all I can think of now is either I'm using the wrong --with-mail-gid >or I need to move the Mailman aliases into a separate mm.aliases file (then >run postalias and amend the Postfix main.cf to recognise this) and change the >permissions on that. If neither of those work I really have no idea where to >go next. You should move the aliases per the documentation I linked above, but that won't solve this problem. You need to make sure that 'maildrop' is not configured as the transport for this domain. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
