The other way around. >The interesting thing is, virtual-mailman >*is* updated correctly from virtual-mailman.db while aliases is not. You have it backwards. Mailman writes aliases and virtual-mailman and then calls postalias and postmap to update the .db files from the text files. Postfix uses the .db files even though the extensions are not mentioned in main.cf. You need to 'chmod 660 /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman.db' It must be writable by the 'list group or it can't be updated by the web server running the create CGI. >Mailman was installed long before I got here, but I'm assuming it was >installed via the standard package installer when Ubuntu was >originally built a few years ago.
