Problem to create list 2.1a2

Thank you Dan, I have downloaded 2.1a2 and it is working in full Spanish language. Excellent work, translation teem!
Now I have problem with aliases.db file, and need help!
I uses Postfix. README.POSTFIX says:
- touch the file $mailman/data/aliases.db and make sure that both
the owner and group-owner of the file is `mailman'. Make sure
that both owner and group have read and write permission.
see ls -al /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Aug 9 06:07 aliases.db
well, when I create a new list I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 54, in main process_request(doc, cgidata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 178, in process_request sys.modules[modname].create(mlist, cgi=1) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 122, in create db = dbhash.open(DBFILE, 'c') File "/var/tmp/python-root//usr/lib/python2.0/dbhash.py", line 8, in open return bsddb.hashopen(file, flag, mode) error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
I understand that problem is in the Postfix.py", line 122, in create db = dbhash.open(DBFILE, 'c') and is not a problem of Postfix daemon running as nobody:nobody.
The aliases.db remains 0 byte but all other task are completed (the list can be listed and admin).
Postfix says: postfix/local[19621]: fatal: open database /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.db: Invalid argument postfix/qmgr[19291]: warning: end of input while receiving string data from service private/local postfix/qmgr[19291]: warning: private/local: malformed response postfix/master[19289]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/local pid 19621 exit status 1 postfix/master[19289]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling
Can somebody help me, please??

Berkeley DB doesn't like zero-byte files. Despite what README.postfix says, I would delete that aliases.db file and try again. I'm guessing Mailman (or rather, the bsddb module) will create it for you.
