I'm referring to the README.QMAIL file, which has the section on setgid... I know about mailman having to run as gid 102, which is what I hard coded it to at install time... I am an isp, which has a main domain of arhosting.com I do virtual hosting, using apache, and qmail+vmailmgr, which I add every virtual domin to the system as a user, which gives them a userid, and gid...
I just made the virtual domains primary group the same as mailman's, and it is working now... It would be nice to get around having to do that though, because of posting concerns/permissions... I guess, I could still keep them in the group that was created when the virtual domain was added as a user. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Carnes [mailto:jonc@;nc.rr.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 7:25 PM To: Barry Smoke Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman and qmail gid problem It looks like qmail (or whatever is calling the Mailman aliases) is using the Group ID of 65848 (or perhaps it is undefined). Your best bet is to change qmail's Group ID to 102. Failing that, if 65848 really is a Group ID in /etc/group then you could re-install Mailman and set it to use the mail gid of 65848. Mailman has a check on the wrapper program (which is run via the MTA: qmail). The check only allows the Mailman user, root, or the MTA to run it. The check looks at the Group ID of application that is trying to start it. In your case when wrapper looks up the Group ID of the application that is trying to start it, the system is giving it the number: 65848.
