Re: [Mailman-Users] Command output: local: fatal: execvp/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman: Permission denied )
/etc/aliases is the location of my aliases file and that's where postfix is pointing. I cannot change the owner to the aliases and aliases.db or else I can't run newaliases. I ran ./configure --with-mail-god=nobody and I have default_privs = nobody Any other suggestions?

There should be two aliases files - one supplied by the OS (and/or Postfix), and one created by Mailman. You need to define both to Postfix in main.cf in the alias_maps = hash:aliasfile1 hash:aliasfile2 line. Keep the permissions on the system file as they are, so that the newaliases command will work. The permissions on the Mailman-generated aliases file need to match the --with-mail-gid= parameter on the ./configure statement. I just noticed that on my Ubuntu system there is no system aliases file, so I do not have a definition for postmaster, MAILER-DAEMON, and the other common userids. And I do not want to include those definitions in the Mailman-generated aliases file, as a re-generation of that file would proably omit my manual additions. -- Barry S.
