Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Submitted By: Bob Holden (eawf) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Postfix.py and aliases (#CREATED:xxx)

Initial Comment: CentOS4.2 Installed Mailman2.1.5 via YUM. Postfix Configured Automatic aliases file creation. When creating list from ./newlist, no problems. When creating list from web, got bug page, and discovered an alias entry, "#CREATED:...". While not being a Python programmer, glancing through the Postfix.py file, it looks like when looping through the STANZA section to create the aliases file, the commented #CREATED: line isn't ignored, causing the record to be created. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=483098 Interestingly, when I commented out both of the "CREATED: print statements, the problem went away. Only thing I can figure from that is that programmatically, when creating the aliases file, the commented CREATED: line is not being ignored or skipped over. Again, glancing through the code I see checking for the STANZA lines, but not the CREATED line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-03-26 18:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Both bin/newlist and the Cgi create script invoke the exact same Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py module to update the aliases. The only difference is the user/group under which it runs. Thus, this is most likely a problem with the 'mailman' group not having write permission on data/aliases*. Both data/aliases and data/aliases.db should be group owned by the 'mailman' group and be group writable. This may be FAQ 6.9 - http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.009.htp If this is not a permissions issue, please post the traceback from the "bug" from Mailman's error log. Note that the "#CREATED:" line in the aliases file is a comment and is intended to be there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1459022&group_id=103
