Hi Daryll Keep postfix using 'mail'. All I did to solve this was the following. 1. put your mailman aliases in a seperate file. In my case /etc/postfix/mailman.alaises, by adding it to the alias_maps and alias_database lines. 2. run newaliases to generate /etc/postfix/mailman.alaises.db 3. set the gid of /etc/postfix/mailman.alaises.db to be 'mail' It should then work. From my use, the gis bit sticks, so you only have to do it once and subsequintly running newaliases (thus generating a new .db) retains the gid of mail. hth charles _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
