This seems to be the problem. I have set up two owner- aliases, none of both seems to work... The corresponding mails are sent to "an-alle", which is an alias for "rk": -------------------- 8< -------------------- # postmap -q an-alle hash:/etc/aliases \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf rk -------------------- 8< -------------------- rk resolves to all addresses of the list: -------------------- 8< -------------------- # postmap -q "rk" ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf | tr , '\n' | wc -l 289 -------------------- 8< -------------------- Both "an-alle" and "rk" have an owner- alias set: -------------------- 8< -------------------- # postmap -q owner-an-alle hash:/etc/aliases \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf edvadmin, cgroeschl # postmap -q owner-rk hash:/etc/aliases \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf \ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf edvadmin, cgroeschl -------------------- 8< -------------------- I think I have also tried setting only the owner-rk alias, this also doesn't seem to work. >> When delivering mail to a list which is implemented as an >> ldap-alias-list (currently 289 recipients), the local daemon delivers >> most of the mails to local mailboxes but then fails to open some >> .forward files with "Too many open files".

Could this setting really interfere with the local daemons behavior?
