First, the bad news: Mac OS X 10.6.8. Yea, I've read Mark's dire warning. Please don't shoot me. I'm hoping this is a generic sort of problem.
When I send a message to ANY of the dozen or so lists I host, my MTA immediately says it doesn't know the addressee. /etc/postfix/main.cf contains the following lines: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,hash:/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman,hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_users alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases The file "/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman" is empty. The file "/var/mailman/data/aliases" has all my lists in it. The corresponding ".db" files for those two have the same timestamp as their corresponding text files. Here is an example of what is in the "aliases" file: # STANZA START: beaders # CREATED: Wed Jan 7 13:06:39 2015 beaders: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman post beaders" beaders-admin: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman admin beaders" beaders-bounces: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman bounces beaders" beaders-confirm: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman confirm beaders" beaders-join: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman join beaders" beaders-leave: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman leave beaders" beaders-owner: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman owner beaders" beaders-request: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman request beaders" beaders-subscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe beaders" beaders-unsubscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe beaders" # STANZA END: beaders I run "dumpdb aliases.db" and get: [----- start marshal file -----] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/mailman/bin/dumpdb", line 156, in <module> msg = main() File "/usr/share/mailman/bin/dumpdb", line 136, in main obj = load(fp) ValueError: bad marshal data Does this mean that "dumpdb" is bad, or does it mean that "aliases.db" is bad, or neither? Any help (despite my using an unsupported version) appreciated! I promise to jump on the 3.0 bandwagon as soon as I can. I hate what Apple did to this. :::: ...the exploitation of animals for milk was already an established practice at the time farming arrived in Britain in the late fifth millennium B.C. -- M.S.
