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.

/etc/aliases is the location of my aliases file and that's where postfix
is pointing.  I cannot change the owner to the aliases and aliases.db or
else I can't run newaliases. 

I ran ./configure --with-mail-god=nobody
and I have default_privs = nobody

Any other suggestions?

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.

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  in case you run into
a group mismatch after fixing the owner.

[Mailman-Users] Command output: local: fatal: execvp /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman: Permission denied )

2008-10-27 Thread jewel . brueggeman-makda 
When I create a new list and put my email address, I do receive a
confirmation.  I can deliver mail as root also from my server.  Once I
try and post to the list is when nothing happens, just a bounce back
saying the "Connection is refused." The only clue I can see if the
following in my maillog:

Command output: local: fatal: execvp /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman:
Permission denied 

I read the above error means postfix does not have permissions to access
the mailman wrappers.

Before I post this question to a postfix listserv, I wanted to confirm
my permissions were correct.  Here is what I have for
/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman:

-rwxrwsr-x  1 mailman mailman 16887 Oct 15 09:10 mailman

My aliases.db file is owned by 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"
