Mailman invokes the POSTFIX_MAP_CMD command with one argument equal to the path to the virtual-mailman file. The intent is that this will run /usr/sbin/postmap /path/to/data/virtual-mailman which will update virtual-mailman.db with the changed virtual-mailman. Presumably, when you replace /usr/sbin/postmap with /path/to/your/script, you still want virtual-mailman.db to be updated so you need /usr/sbin/postmap $1 somewhere in your script so when Mailman invokes /path/to/your/script /path/to/data/virtual-mailman The $1 inside the script is replaced with the first argument and the script runs /usr/sbin/postmap /path/to/data/virtual-mailman You could of course hard code the path to virtual-mailman in the postmap command in your script instead of using $1 to get it from the invoking command, but the $1 is more general. If it failed when you tested your script by hand, that is because you didn't invoke the script with the /path/to/data/virtual-mailman argument as Mailman does. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
