I am installing Mailman on a machine running Postfix. I put in Postfix's configuration file the statement
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/chroot/htdocs/mailman/data/aliases and ran Mailman's "genaliases" command to generate the alias database (which now contains aliases for 2 lists). But it looks like my Postfix is choking on Mailman's aliases. I get a steady stream of the following complaints in the maillog: Jun 9 12:45:20 polyhedra postfix/smtpd[16195]: fatal: open database /var/chroot/htdocs/mailman/data/aliases.db: Invalid argument Jun 9 12:45:21 polyhedra postfix/master[301]: warning: process /usr/local/libexec/smtpd pid 16195 exit status 1 Jun 9 12:45:21 polyhedra postfix/master[301]: warning: /usr/local/libexec/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Does anybody have any advice, please? I notice the following seeming mismatch, but I don't know if it's relevant: For the Postfix aliases database: # file /etc/aliases.db /etc/aliases.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order) For the Mailman aliases database: # file /var/chroot/htdocs/mailman/data/aliases.db /var/chroot/htdocs/mailman/data/aliases.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) Many thanks in advance, -malgosia ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
