the Mailman web interface page. It did add the list into the alias file,
but it
failed to run "postalias" probably because of permission issue's I'm
guessing.
I have my alias file in /var/mailman/mailman/data/aliases
and the permissions are rw-rw---- mailman mailman aliases.
I suspect that the problem is similar to one I had - your aliases.db file is probably not group writable (or isn't owned by the mailman group). Because all the web scripts run setgid as the mailman group, all files accessed by the web need to be group writable as that group.
Here are the permissions on mine (which I just tested):
-rw-rw---- 1 root mailman 33256 Jan 14 15:44 aliases
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 57344 Jan 14 15:44 aliases.db
Thanks,
Bryan
