One thing I need to mention here.. when I reviewed the history of this the one thing that definitely contributed to the error roll was the instructions to add mailman aliases to /etc/aliases. I think this was where the slide into chaos began because I failed to realise that those instructions (which came from creating a mail list) should not have been heeded! When the aliases are put into /etc/aliases the owner:group combination causes a the perms failure. Not realising this was the root cause, I tried to correct the situation, but instead made it a lot worse!*******************!!! Here is one example of the auto generated message for the list: **************************************************************************** Mailing list creation request for list bps_comps_print_announce From: mailman-ow...@vizion2000.net To: mailman-ow...@vizion2000.net The mailing list `bps_comps_print_announce' has been created via the through- the-web interface. In order to complete the activation of this mailing list, the proper /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file must be updated. The program `newaliases' may also have to be run.
