It would *never* be in my best interest not to give you all the info. The problem is, I don't know exactly what info you need or want, and what would be superfluous. Let's see if I can provide more below. Anything I've omitted, just ask and it shall be yours for the knowing.

In case it went by and you didn't see it, here are the perms on those four files in /var/lib/mailman/data: -rw-rw---- 1 root list 6725 2012-03-28 19:07 aliases -rw-rw---- 1 list list 12288 2012-03-28 19:07 aliases.db -rw-rw---- 1 root list 5830 2012-03-28 19:07 virtual-mailman -rw-r----- 1 root list 12288 2012-03-28 19:07 virtual-mailman.db > >Also, the "user unknown in virtual mailbox table" error indicates the >list domain is a virtual domain.

I tried putting add_virtualhost in mm_cfg.py, but all that did was generate an error saying I'd found a bug! Obviously that was the wrong thing to do, so I removed it, and now we're back to the "unknown virtual host" error on the web create form. >(basically your add_virtualhost entries) and getting the host name >from there. > >But, as Stephen suggests, don't make us guess.
