I did change the ownership on the mailman-aliases.db to no avail. [snip] >The error says it expects gid=12. Give it to em! (on the .db file) And therein lies the rub. It isn't the permissions on the .db file, it's mailman's wrapper script that's causing the problem: Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 99. (Reconfigure to take 99?) If I change postfix's "default_privs = mail" then the script runs fine, but I'm wondering if this presents a security risk. There aren't many files/directories owned by mail, so maybe this doesn't. I realized after sending the first message that although I started with the RH provided postfix RPM, I'm now using the one maintained by Simon Mudd, located at http://www.ea4els.ampr.org/~sjmudd. Are you using the stock RedHat RPM? I wonder if that's part of the issue. Also, do you have "DELIVERY_MODULE" set to "Sendmail" or "SMTPDirect" in /var/mailman/Mailman/Default.py (or possibly /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py). I'm using the default of "SMTPDirect" as the documentation says the other option isn't "secure". At any rate, it does appear to be working, I'm just not sure about the possible security implications. -Eric Eric Sisler Applications Specialist Westminster Public Library Westminster, CO USA Linux - Don't fear the Penguin.
