I've only been using this for about two months so my terminology may not be the most accurate but I also ran into this problem. Roughly- Your mail agent (sendmail, postfix) is getting the mail dropped into it from the wrong user (from w/in mailman). From what I can see, in mailman you basically have a user (mine is mailman) that will collect the mail for the mailman program and "drop" it into the mail program (sendmail, postfix, etc). Remember when you ran the "./configure" command right before the "make install"? Well, there is a note in the installation instructions (step 2 actually) that says to pay special attention to the "-with-mail-gid AND -with-cgi-gid". I didn't and that problem kicked my butt for days. I finally figured out that the mail-gid should be the one for mailman and the cgi-gid should be the id for apache. If I remember correctly you can look inside the passwd file and see all the user id's for the system. This is all from memory and I'm away from my linux box at the moment so I can't verify everything I said but I think it's right. If not, it should get you moving in the right direction.. Hope this helps. Chadd
