The "Bad owner email address: mailman@(unused)" error comes from newlist and has nothing to do with aliases. If you gave the command "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman" to create the mailman list, you should have been prompted for "the email of the person running the list:" and "Initial mailman password:" asking for the list owner's email address and the admin password to establish for the list. The email address you enter needs to be a syntactically valid email address including domain as in [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
