I was wrong, it only inherits read access permission.

But IIRC, the default MTA on Debian is Exim. So there are probably
less users testing the postfix integration in the packages. That's
my guess.

Yes, they need to be group writable, but they shouldn't need to be
world writable.

Hi.
I hit the problem described in the FAQ 6.9.

chmod 0660 data/aliases.db
chmod 0660 data/virtual-mailman.db
adduser www-data list
