BTW, someone on the mailman list said, "Yes, it has the flags, but what is
the value of the ${MAILGID} parameter? The error message you received says
it's 'mailman' and
should be 'mail'."
And looking at the log, he seems to be correct:
Sep 12 12:16:19 [Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error. Mailman
expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but_the
system's mail server executed the mail script as_group "mail". Try tweaking
the mail server to run the_script as group "mailman", or re-run configure,
_providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'._
But the .ebuild script sets it to gid 280, shouldn't it be 8? why is that?
Is that the problem? How can I fix that. Re-emerging doesn't let me change
those .ebuild values. MD5 errors and such.
APACHEGID="81"
MAILGID="280"
src_compile() {
econf \
--prefix=${INSTALLDIR} \
--with-mail-gid=${MAILGID} \
--with-cgi-gid=${APACHEGID} \
|| die "configure failed"
make || die "make failed"
}
# ll /etc/exim/exim.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29452 Apr 29 13:54 /etc/exim/exim.conf
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
# Value is normally "mailman"
MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
So, these match what the comment says there, and what the .ebuild is doing.
I'm so confused. *sigh*
