How do I change the name of (rename) a list? is missing one command at the end: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliasesJust below the bin/arch --wipe newlist command, it says Finally, if your MTA uses aliases for mailman lists rather than some process that automatically understands list names from the contents of the lists/ directory, you will have to update your aliases. If you do this manually, edit your aliases to change 'oldlist' to 'newlist' (a total of 2 changes per alias for 10 aliases), and then run 'newaliases' or whatever command rebuilds your alias database. It you have Postfix/Mailman integration, just run bin/genaliases. What should I do to make this more obvious? I just put the "bin/genaliases" part in a code box like the other commands. Does that help?
I missed that piece, maybe because it was not in a box. Another related question - I have 437 lists. The genaliases command ran for over a minute (I did not time it). During that time I received some mail stating that a list name was "User unknown in local recipient table". Do I need to stop Postfix while genaliases is running? Maybe just editting the aliases file and then running the Postfix "newaliases" command is safer . -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.
