[BlueOnyx:18935] Re: 5208 Can't add mailing lists

[Jim Matysek]

Hmm, I have both of those files and they look okay to me. My 
aliases.mailman file follows that format and I've never manually edited it.

The only thing I can see in my aliases file that I've ever changed was 
for nobody - I think it originally went to root, and I changed that to 
/dev/null long ago to avoid getting copies of all of the old majordomo 
list posts.
