It doesn't seem the mail is getting even that far. Do you have MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py? Have you added path/to/data/aliases to Postfix's alias_maps? See <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>. Note that Postfix will deliver to Mailman with owner:group of the aliases.db file it finds the aliases in. This is normally group 'mailman' for data/aliases*, so for Postfix, you normally want --with-mail-gid=mailman which is included in the default for configure. What is in the Postfix logs for mail to Mailman? >I installed Mailman as myself and I am a member of the Mailman group with >permissions to write to that directory.

The above seems OK. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
