There are two things to be aware of. If/when you configure Mailman/Postfix integration, you will have to reconfigure Mailman again with a different --with-mail-gid because Postfix runs pipes as the user who owns the alias file in which the pipe is found, and this will be different from the current /etc/postfix/aliases.db. The integration will not be complete in your case because the transport table will also need updating, and Mailman doesn't know about that. It wouldn't be too difficult for a Python Programmer to modify Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py to maintain a transport table in the same way as it currently does the aliases and virtual-mailman tables, and then add that table to Postfix transport_maps. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
