Also, the "user unknown in virtual mailbox table" error indicates the list domain is a virtual domain. If the issue is that Mailman's data/aliases is updated, but data/virtual-mailman is not, the problem is that the email host_name for the list is not in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS. For a web create, the host_name is determined by taking the web host from the URL used to go to the create page and looking it up in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary (basically your add_virtualhost entries) and getting the host name from there. But, as Stephen suggests, don't make us guess. Give us all the information. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
