I am using the text mode to do it - and have added the aliases - my
mailing list is called test and /etc/aliases has
## test mailing list
## created: 15-Jul-2002 mailman
test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
test-owner: test-admin
However - a mail to any of these addresses produces a bounce (user not
found)

I installed it from source and I made sure to set the --with-mail-gid to
the group that sendmail runs as (daemon) and to set the --with-cgi-gid
to the apache group (nobody) - it runs as mailman:mailman - I have
symlinked safe_finger to the mailman chroot jail (/home/mailman/bin) -
but this still doesn't work - however root doesn't get a command not
found message in this case - he gets the output of safe_finger mailed to
him instead (see first post).
