I'm placing mailman into production for the first time - and I have
approximately 2500 lists. Many of my lists work fine, but many do not.
On them, I receive a "user unknown" error. An example: when send to
the "seo" list, sendmail -bv [EMAIL PROTECTED] returns
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown"
I have the seo lines in aliases.mailman - and a strings on the
aliases.mailman.db returns correct data for the list. Some lists listed
in aliases.mailman AFTER seo work correctly, as do some lists listed
BEFORE it - elimination my idea of a corrupt file.
aliases.mailman was generated through "sudo -u mailman bin/genaliases -q
> aliases.mailman".
I have run newaliases.
I have restarted mailman.
sendmail.cf includes /etc/aliases.mailman in the ALiasFile line - and is
working as it should since some of my lists are working.
aliases.mailman is 28,896 lines long - is that a problem?
Any ideas?

If you find that everybody else is right and you're wrong,
it might just be that you're thinking outside the box. The
world is yet to catch up.
