Hi list,
I recently migrated our mailman server from an old SLES 11 box to Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, and installed Mailman from the Ubuntu repositories along with Postfix and other prerequisites. Mailman itself is working fine, but I have a handful of regular email aliases in /etc/aliases which do not receive mail, and when examining the logs, get bounced with a “User unknown” error. What did I screw up?
(I’ve checked my aliases and they’re good, and I’ve run the newaliases command numerous times).
Cheers, James

I don't think this is a Mailman question, but
What is the output from
postconf alias_maps
and
ls -l /etc/aliases*
What is the full "User unknown" log message?
