Yes, it sounds like a Postfix issue, but in order to say anything, we'd need to see "postconf -n" and some relevant Postfix log messages. >Here is some info (yes, I know it's ancient): > >rpm -qa | grep -i mailman >mailman-2.1.9-4.el5 > >/etc/postfix/main.cf: >alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases > hash:/etc/mailman/aliases > >and in /etc/mailman/aliases it has the list troytest with this: ># STANZA START: troytest ># CREATED: Sun Mar 14 19:20:17 2010 >troytest: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post troytest" >troytest-admin: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin troytest" >troytest-bounces: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces troytest" >troytest-confirm: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm troytest" >troytest-join: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join troytest" >troytest-leave: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave troytest" >troytest-owner: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner troytest" >troytest-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request troytest" >troytest-subscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe troytest" >troytest-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe troytest" ># STANZA END: troytest > >There is also a python process owned by mailman that is varying between >75-100% of the CPU.

The command is postalias, not postmap, and it's unlikely to help unless perhaps you previously ran 'postmap /etc/mailman/aliases', but it couldn't hurt to run 'postalias /etc/mailman/aliases'. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
