[Mailman-Users] postfix alias mailman 2.1a2

[Armin Haaf]

Hello,

I installed mailman 2.1a2 on suse 7.2 with postfix as MTA. It works fine
until I set postfix as MTA in mm_cfg.py. After that a list creation
gives the following message:





Bug in Mailman version 2.1a2

the alias file exists and is rw for user, group and others

Do I need a newer python version, or is this a bug in mailman??

Thanx

Armin
