What happens if you leave the ownership as root:mailman in spite of check_perms? Have you followed the Postfix setup instructions at for example http://mailman.sourceforge.net/mailman-install/node12.html (mirrors at http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node12.html and http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html In any case, this appears to be a postfix configuration issue. A google search for "cannot find alias database owner" turns up two links to a postfix module alias.c, the relevant piece of which is: /* * DELIVERY RIGHTS * * What rights to use for |command and /file/name deliveries? The * command and file code will use default rights when the alias * database is owned by root, otherwise it will use the rights of * the alias database owner. */ if ((alias_uid = dict_owner(*cpp)) == 0) { alias_pwd = 0; RESET_USER_ATTR(usr_attr, state.level); } else { if ((alias_pwd = mypwuid(alias_uid)) == 0) { msg_warn("cannot find alias database owner for %s", *cpp); *statusp = defer_append(BOUNCE_FLAG_KEEP, BOUNCE_ATTR(state.msg_attr), "cannot find alias database owner"); return (YES); } SET_USER_ATTR(usr_attr, alias_pwd, state.level); } -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
