Re: [Mailman-Users] Password frustration - 2.1b3

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Well, at the time I had a permissions issue. So I chowned the whole tree to mailman:mailman, and went back and did "config.status" and "make install" to ratify it. Then I did a couple of other little things I had overlooked in the INSTALL file. Nothing is being logged in the mailman/logs to speak of, certainly none of my test messages. I discovered from the /var/log/maillog file that I had a problem with my aliases, and came to figure out that I was editing /etc/postfix/aliases but newaliases was using the /etc/aliases file to create an aliases.db file I now have added all the correct aliases (from bin/genaliases) to the /etc/aliases file, run newaliases, and just in case, copied both to /etc/postfix/. Here's the maillog tail from my last attempt to post:   Oct  9 02:25:41 virtuoso postfix/smtpd[1487]: 8702E2D7B2: client=mailout.whidbey.net[209.166.64.124] Oct  9 02:25:41 virtuoso postfix/cleanup[1488]: 8702E2D7B2: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oct  9 02:25:42 virtuoso postfix/smtpd[1487]: disconnect from mailout.whidbey.net[209.166.64.124] Oct  9 02:25:42 virtuoso postfix/qmgr[841]: 8702E2D7B2: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1258, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct  9 02:25:42 virtuoso postfix/local[1490]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/aliases.db: Invalid argument Oct  9 02:25:43 virtuoso postfix/qmgr[841]: warning: premature end-of-input from private/local socket while reading input attribute name Oct  9 02:25:43 virtuoso postfix/qmgr[841]: warning: private/local socket: malformed response Oct  9 02:25:43 virtuoso postfix/qmgr[841]: warning: transport local failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description Oct  9 02:25:43 virtuoso postfix/master[823]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/local pid 1490 exit status 1 Oct  9 02:25:43 virtuoso postfix/master[823]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling Incidentally, this message has not been bounced.
