[Mailman-Users] postalias error

[Brian York]

I am using postfix, setting things up according to the readme file for postfix 
in the source code for mailman. When i try to create a list i get the error 
below. 



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main
    main()
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 55, in main
    process_request(doc, cgidata)
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 226, in process_request
    sys.modules[modname].create(mlist, cgi=1)
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 232, in create
    _update_maps()
  File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 53, in _update_maps
    raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr)
RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /var/mailman/data/aliases 
(status: 1, Operation not permitted)


The rest of the error is in the attached file - postaliaserror

Thanks
Brian
