bin/check_perms will help. I don't think mailman:mail is correct. The user is not important, but the group should be Mailman's group (the setting for MAILMAN_GROUP in Defaults.py. Run bin/check_perms -f as root. That should make group and mode correct. >Now I am getting this error from postfix: > >status=bounced (Command died with status 2: >"/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman".

Postfix will invoke the wrapper as the user and that user's primary group corresponding to the owner of the aliases.db file in which the pipe command was found. I.e., if the aliases.db file is userx:groupy, postfix will invoke the wrapper as userx:groupx where groupx is userx's primary group. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
