Ok. Catch-all is disabled. But the problem remained. Running the wrapper
with ./usr/share/mailman/mail/wrapper post test or sending a mail to
test@<ip-address> return this error message:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/post", line 94, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/share/mailman/scripts/post", line 73, in main
    mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=0)
  File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 79, in __init__
    self.Load()
  File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 891, in Load
    dict, e = self.__load(dbfile)
  File "/usr/share/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 868, in __load
    fp = open(dbfile)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/usr/share/mailman/lists/test/config.db'

Any idea?

Thanks for you advice, Elmer.
