Re: [Mailman-Users] postfix+mailman, part 2
It looks like your file permissions are good, but what user is actually running mailman?

So go to your extracted tar-ball directory, so su - mailman and as a user mailman say: $ ./configure --prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman --with-cgi-gid=nogroup --with-mail-gid=nogroup $ make $ make install This should work. May be you installed mailman when logged in as root! --yogesh Greetings All, Searching the web, I learned that postfix uses the group id of the owner of file /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db when it runs mailman. So the fix was to change that file's permissions to: -rw-r-1 mailman mailman 12288 Apr 18 23:49 aliases.db Thanks to all of you who responded to my query. Your support is appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] postfix+mailman, part 2
I found part of my problem. In /etc/postfix/main.cf was virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman The aliases line equates test-subscribe with |...test subscribe and generated the pecular userid in the user unknown message. Removing the aliases reference and leaving virtual-mailman gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unknown user: test-subscribe which is much more reasonable. However my subscribe message still hasn't gotten to mailman. What am I missing?? Thanks.
