There are a few possible approaches to 1) (bear with me, I'm not a postfix guy) 1a) map owner-listname to listname-owner in /etc/aliases or some other non-mailman aliases file. This way I think you can avoid the 'group mismatch error' that would result if you tried to pipe the owner-listname address directly to the wrapper in an alias file not owned by Mailman's user:group. 1b) add the owner-listname pipe alias to Mailman's data/aliases and don't run Mailman's genaliases. Just rely on list creation/deletion to add/remove the appropriate stanzas, and manually add the owner-listname for new lists. 1c) create another set of postfix alias files with the same ownership as the ones in Mailman's data/ directory and put the owner-listname pipe aliases there. But, 1) should not be necessary because the answer to 2) is No. Mailman itself is not generating mail to owner-listname unless owner-listname is a list member, owner or moderator. It should not be an owner or moderator, at least not of the same list - i.e., the owners and moderators of listx should not contain any listx-* addresses and should not contain any owner-listx address unless that address is deliverable outside of Mailman. If owner-listname is a list member, that address should be changed to listname-owner. You can use Mailman's bin/find_member owner- to see if any owner- addresses are members of which lists. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
