You can, if it works in your OS (some OSs won't change ownership of symlinks at all), and it may get rid of the check_perms messages, but it doesn't really matter. check_perms doesn't deal well with symlinks, it complains about the symlink, but fixes the target, but it is only the target mode and permissions that are relevant anyway. >QUESTION TWO: > >Postfix is not starting (see below). > >How can I fix this? > >c...@lists:/var/lib/mailman$ sudo tail /var/log/mail.log >Apr 30 10:39:03 lists postfix/master[1404]: warning: >/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling >Apr 30 10:40:03 lists postfix/smtpd[1845]: fatal: open database >/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db: Invalid argument >Apr 30 10:40:04 lists postfix/master[1404]: warning: process >/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 1845 exit status 1 Apparently you have hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases in Postfix main.cf alias_maps list. This is good, but either the aliases.db doesn't exist or is corrupt. You need to be sure you have MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py, and also that the Defaults.py setting POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias' points to where postalias actually is and if it doesn't, put POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/correct/path/to/postalias' in mm_cfg.py. Then run Mailman's bin/genaliases to make sure that /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases and /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db are correct and in sync. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Thank you -- Help with migration
TIA, Please help me resolve what I hope is fairly simple permissions error. If need be, I can restore the VM to a state prior to the noted file transfers. Goal: Migrate from Mac OSX.4.11 to Ubuntu 9.04 (on VMware). Steps: Build Ubuntu server with Postfix, Amavisd, Spammassasin, & Mailman. Rsync files over with the following commands. Did not use option a because mailman/list owner had different names & numerical IDs. sudo rsync -rlptDvz /var/mailman/lists r...@209.xxx.xxx.xx:/var/lib/mailman/ data archive Results: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12 We're sorry, we hit a bug!
