There should be two aliases files - one supplied by the OS (and/or
Postfix), and one created by Mailman. You need to define both to
Postfix in main.cf in the
alias_maps = hash:aliasfile1 hash:aliasfile2
line. Keep the permissions on the system file as they are, so that
the "newaliases" command will work. The permissions on the
Mailman-generated aliases file need to match the
--with-mail-gid=
parameter on the ./configure statement.
I just noticed that on my Ubuntu system there is no system aliases file,
so I do not have a definition for postmaster, MAILER-DAEMON, and the
other common userids. And I do not want to include those definitions
in the Mailman-generated aliases file, as a re-generation of that file
would proably omit my manual additions.
