You are missing the pipe in front of the aliases. Example:
fp: "| /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post fp"
The pipe tells the mail server to launch the program
(/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman, and to feed the message into the
program as data.
You'll need to edit all the aliases and add a pipe in front of each
one. If you create a new list from the command line, you will see that
proper format.
Good Luck - Jon Carnes
