I think this is the problem. If you have Mailman/Postfix integration, so that Mailman's aliases are in Mailman's data/aliases and data/aliases.db files, aliases.db needs to be owned by mailman, not root. >I am running... >Red Hat 5.1 >Postfix 2.3.3 >Mailman 2.1.11 > >Also, when I run check_perms - f as root it says "no problems found" That's a flaw in check_perms. It only checks group on files and directories, not owner, because owner doesn't matter except for this one file. Also, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> in case you run into a group mismatch after fixing the owner. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
