My mistake, I got it backwards. Postfix is executing the wrapper as mailman:mailman, the owner:group of the aliases. Mailman's wrapper is expecting group 'nobody'. You can't change the owner:group of the aliases or list creation won't be able to update them. This means you need to reconfigure the wrapper to expect group 'mailman' instead of 'nobody'. There is probably some FreeBSD port magic way to do this, but I don't know what it is. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
