Have you set MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py? Probably you have since genaliases would report a lot of aliases if it were the default MTA = 'Manual'. > I should point out in my installation the path to the mailman bin is > /usr/lib/mailman/bin in case that makes any difference.

Assuming that you do have MTA = 'Postfix', you need to be in the right directory when you do the chown. This certainly isn't /usr/lib/mailman/bin. It may be /usr/lib/mailman/data, or something else depending on how the Mailman you are installing was configured. The name of the directory id data/ and it will be in whatever was configured as var-prefix which may be /usr/lib/mailman/ or something in /var. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
