I don't think that's required. I know that's not how I have any of my systems setup and they all work fine with mailman. They are all running Postfix version 1, but I'd be surprised to find that Postfix 2 is that much different in this regard. You might want to ask about this on the postfix-users list. Someone there can probably answer more definitively why you're having trouble getting the wrapper to run under the right gid. I would take a wild guess that it might have to do with your alias_map and alias_database settings. Do you have some or all of your mailman aliases in one of the system alias files or something? - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. -- Aldous Huxley -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iD8DBQE/w5Ieuv+09NZUB1oRAuRdAJ9rgc2f4cjmf9qVoA5KmpVt9nmKAQCguuv5 Ckvcpikjzq3ap0mwrmxq4ks= =AmKv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
