Great. Did as you suggested. Then switched DNS to new IP. Sent first test message to one of the lists (hs), but it bounced. Edited bounce message below:
> #< #5.0.0 X-Postfix; host mysite.com[128.xxx.xxx.xxx] said: 553 5.3.0 > <h...@mysite.com>... User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)> #SMTP# I ran newaliases. Same result. The alias hs does appear in the /etc/mail/aliases: hs: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post hs" There is a duplicate definition of the mailman alias, but the two are identical. Maybe it makes newaliases unhappy? Any suggestions? Very, very grateful for your help. -Andrew On Jan 2, 2010, at 3:42 PM, Mark Sapiro wrote: > Andrew Watson wrote: >> >> 1) on the old server, all files in /usr/local/mailman/lists and >> /user/local/mailman/archives have group mailman, but group wheel on the >> new server. > > > This needs to be fixed.
