Then in /etc/courier/aliasdir/ i have .courier files
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56 Jun 22 03:12 .courier-jhu-grads
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59 Jun 22 03:12 .courier-jhu-grads-default
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Jun 22 02:37 .courier-jhu-grads-owner
with contents like :
| /usr/bin/couriermlm msg /root/Mailing-Lists/jhu-grads
This works in terms of sending messages to the list but maybe not for getting archived messages.
Its not too late for me to recreate this mailing list from scratch if there is a better way to do it. Any suggestions?
I couldnt think of any other way to set this up besides creating a jhu system account and making mailing list directories under that users home dir. However I eventually wanted to create other mailing lists which might not start with the same prefix, jhu. Is there an easy way to manage this without creating system accounts for everything. And also can you have mailing lists without a dash in them?

This recipient address gets mapped to the alias user.
Here is the output of couriermlm lsub: cartman:~/Mailing-Lists# couriermlm lsub jhu-grads/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (06/23/03) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (06/22/03) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (06/23/03) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (06/23/03)
This mailing list directory appears to be installed under a system account. You probably have a .courier entry in the alias directory that runs couriermlm, pointing to this mailing list directory.
If so, couriermlm gets invoked running as the alias userid, while the mailing list directory is owned by the system account's userid, so the couriermlm can't create a lock file in order to read the recipient list.
