I finally gave up mucking around in various config files, after I couldn't find anything else to change, :-), and just did a ./mailmantcl to see what would happen.
Initially, I was happy, because I got the confirmation messages for a test list and for the list I wanted to create. However, when I sent a test message to my list, it bounced with the following ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2: > "/Users/mailman/mail/mailman post clips". Command output: Group mismatch > error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group > "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group > "mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group > "nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option > `--with-mail-gid=mailman'. So, for fun, I ran "./configure --with-mail-gid=mailman" and it popped up with >checking permissions on /usr/local/mailman... configure: error: >***** Installation directory /usr/local/mailman is not configured properly! >***** Directory doesn't exist: /usr/local/mailman Which, as we've noted here before, doesn't exist. Everything is stuck in /Users/mailman where, apparently, it's supposed to be in OS X, and so, seeing the above error message, it dawned on me that I could just do an ugly hack and symbolically link /usr/local/mailman to /Users/mailman, and be done with it. Anyone think this is a bad idea? If so, do you have a better one? :-) Thanks! Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
