I didnt check if alias generation with other MTAs have the same problem. Postfix.py generates lines like # STANZA START: <listname> # CREATED: <date> (...) # STANZA END: Problem is the "# CREATED:" line. To disable a mail alias, some admin simply put a '# ' in front of that alias. So that line could be interpreted as a user 'CREATED' that has been disabled. And webmin (v1.150, last one) just do that in the postfix module, displaying wrong infos for postfix aliases. That webmin module use a regex to check these 'disabled' aliases with this Perl code (sorry, not Python:) if (/^(#*)\s*([^:$ \t]+)\s*:\s*(.*)$/) The '# STANZA' lines dont match, so it's ok. But the '# CREATED:' line do match, causing wrong results in webmin. A simple solution is to replace the 'CREATED:' word with two word, by example 'ALIASES CREATED:' MTA/Postfix.py line 108 (mailman-2.1.5) print >> fp, '# CREATED:', time.ctime(time.time()) proposed change print >> fp, '# ALIASES CREATED:', time.ctime(time.time()) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=979631&group_id=103
