hi, i'd like to configure postfix so i can use LDAP aliases and also
/etc/aliases. i have to make some of the aliases pass emails to commands
(for mailman for example). with the configuration i have now it does not
work. and i cannot figure out what is wrong. my /etc/aliases is:

everybody: "|/bin/command"

and if i email to everybodydomain.org new mailbox is created "|" (pipe
symbol). and email is not delivered to command.

i am using Ubuntu 7.10 with postfix 2.3.8-2 and my postconf -n is below.

i would be very grateful for help as i am clueless.
thank you, Wojtek
