The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Matthew Goebel <address@concealed>]

If your running sympa as sympa:sympa then I think

/etc/mail/ should be 775 owned by sympa:sympa

644 sympa_aliases.db owned by sympa:sympa

644 sympa_aliases owned by sympa:sympa

EXTERNAL

You may want to consider _not_ allowing it to be world-readable.

 

Just sayin...  :)

Make sure it is readable by postfix, which is probably running as the postfix user. Our sympa_aliases.db is owned by sympa:sympa but is readable by all users.

Hi Guys, I’m trying to configure postfix instead sendmail and in last step I got this error

postalias: fatal: open database /etc/mail/sympa_aliases.db: Permission denied

 

This is when I tried:

sympa_newaliases.pl
