[Mailman-Users] Error - can't open aliases.db

[Paul]

That is strange that your /etc/aliases is owned by mailman.  Dunno what is

The soft link I made to the target:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root mailman   29 Jul 12 00:15 /etc/mailman/aliases ->
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases

/etc/aliases.db file being empty:
