[Mailman-Users] "create a new list" web interface

[jewel.brueggeman-makda at washburn.edu]

Ok, I stand corrected.  Mail is working fine!  

My problem is issuing the genaliases command.  If it only works for root
when SELinux is off it should work for the user mailman.  I have also
added  the hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases to my alias_maps in
/etc/postfix/main.cf
