Thanks Patrick,
I have reinstalled on FC5 but still having issues. Postfix itself appears to be working. It sends and delivers email correctly.
I have installed mailman. The web interface is up and running. I have added the URL and email host to mm_cfg.py and set MTA to Postfix. I also set up the cronjob for mailman.
I created a list called rugby through interface and subscribed myself. The message to confirm subscription arrives just fine. I confirmed but when posting I get an error in mail log that says I don't exist locally.
Now this is most likely because it can't find the mailman aliases file. This will sound stupid but I cannot find it either!! I assume that when you create a list through interface that it adds it to the alias file? I did run genaliases and that generated the following error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./genaliases", line 116, in ? main() File "./genaliases", line 106, in main MTA.create(mlist, nolock=True, quiet=quiet) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 232, in create _update_maps() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in _update_maps raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted)
I also have the mailman list. Setup and subscription worked fine but when I post to list I get error that says:
< it022607.mydomain.com #5.0.0 X-Postfix; Command died with status 1: "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman">
I assume that this is a permission issue?
Hope someone can give me some pointers. Being completely new to mail sure is a steep learning curve!
Cheers

If someone can tell me what could possibly have caused the issues above that would be great.
Did you go through FAQ 1.7?

This is most likely FAQ 6.9:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.009.htp I get a "RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias" when creating lists and Postfix is my MTA
Check that and adjust the paths as appropriate for FC5.
I also have the mailman list. Setup and subscription worked fine but when I post to list I get error that says:
< it022607.mydomain.com #5.0.0 X-Postfix; Command died with status 1: "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman">
I assume that this is a permission issue?
It appears to be. It may be caused by SELinux instead of just normal file system permissions. Do you have SELinux running in enforcing mode? Run the getenforce command as root to find out if you're unsure. If it's in enforcing mode, you're going to want to set it to permissive or disable it for now as there are problems making mailman and postfix work. I've posted about this to the fedora-selinux-list and not gotten any real solution yet. I'll hopefully get a chance to submit a bug to Fedora on this so it can get fixed, but for now, it's a no go unless you are real adept at managing SELinux (which I think only a very small handful of folks are).
