Whatever the cause, the /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman wrapper is being invoked by group mailman so you need to start over with `configure` and `make install` with the --with-mail-gid=mailman option to configure and not with --with-mail-gid=nobody. > Yes, I ran 'check_perms' and it set it back. Good. Leave it that way. > This is where I'm a bit confused. That aliases file is owned by > mailman:mailman. Actually, it's the aliases.db file that counts and only the owner, unless the invoking user:group comes from fetchmail. > I don't know what configure file you are talking about.

Are you referring to the thread at <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/thread/NR7ACRKU552EJYGXNLUVUVB47HF2N3QD/>? If so, I don't have time at the moment to look in detail, but the issue seemed to be permissions and only changing the --with-mail-gid option from mailman to nobody would not have affected this at all. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
