Package: postfix
Version: 2.1.5-9
Severity: important
In the man page (man postalias) it is stated that, without the -p
option, postalias inherit the file access permission from the input
file.
But this is not the case. The file access permission is always 640.
This seems to be the cause for mailman bug #359134

The man page states:
If the result files do not exist they will be created with the same
group and other read permissions as the source file.
...
-p Do not inherit the file access permissions from the input file
when creating a new file. Instead, create a new file with
default access permissions (mode 0644).
Write permissions are never inherited for group or other.
