And that was bad advice. It is needed.

This part is working correctly per the part of the log message that says "to=<disc...@main-domain.au>, orig_to=<disc...@cpddomain.org.au>,", however the part that says "relay=local, ... status=bounced (unknown user: "discuss")" is saying that for some reason, the alias discuss: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post discuss" is not being processed by Postfix even though the message is being handled by the 'local' transport. What are the ownership and permissions on /etc/mailman/aliases.db. Is the time stamp of this as recent as that on /etc/mailman/aliases? Are there any Postfix log entries related to /etc/mailman/aliases? -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
