Hi Mark and all
That problem was solved, although not exactly according to
your instructions (see details below). I have another prob
at the bottom of this mail.

In this Debian fresh installation, there is user and group called
list. The files in /var/lib/mailman itself is root:list,
files/directories inside have all sorts of ownerships:
root:root, list:list, root:list, list:klog, ???

Changing the ownership helped. Possibly not the best

Thanks. That was missing. I just bin/genaliases >>
/etc/aliases and ran newaliases.
That part is sofar OK.
The next question is the archives.
http://server/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo brings me:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem.
Printing of traceback and other system information has
/var/lib/mailman/log/error has amoung other things
file /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py line 595
fp = open(dbfile)
IOError: Errorno 13 Permission denied
/var/lib/mailman/lists/mailman/config.pck
Again permissions?
