[Mailman-Users] README.POSTFIX
In this file, included with the Mailman source distribution, I've followed all the steps to have Mailman automagically add aliases for my Postfix server. However, when I tried to create a new list, I got a pile of errors from Mailman, the last of which was this: RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) The above paths are correct. Looking in data/alises, the aliases were added fine. Anyone know why I'd get that error? I'm thinking it has to do with user:group permissions. I had to add User apache and Group nobody to my apache configuration so the cgi scripts would be properly executed. So would apache:nobody be trying to run postalias, and get denied for some reason?

Re: [Mailman-Users] README.POSTFIX
I too decided to dump sendmail, and installed and now have Postfix running just fine. However, I am having problems getting mailman to marry Postfix. First of all, when I run /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases I get /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.pag /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.dir I never get /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.db This does not *seem* to be a problem, however, since postfix finds mailman, the messages get delivered to the digest.mbox of the appropriate list (mailman list, in this case), etcetera. The main problem is that I am back to square one. The Outgoing runner never picks up the message; it never spews it back to the list. It simply gets queued and added to the digest.mbox. By the way, Postfix is working just great with listserv, so I know that Postfix is fine, but Iwould much rather have mailman than listserv. Yes, I have entered MTA = 'Postfix' in the mm_cfg.py file. I just don't get it to deliver... :-( Any help will be much appreciated.
