I think that will break, Possibly the Mailman wrapper says, hey i am started with the GID (nobody in my case) instead of mailman... please change --with-mail-gid="$PostfixGID" so that i start working.
<example> 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 "nobody". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nobody' </example> I had the same issue and that is a live example (Only i used another group) Hope this helps a bit -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Jon Carnes Verzonden: donderdag 22 januari 2004 4:18 Aan: T.

You need to install Postfix, get it running as the local MTA with appropriate rights and then move your Mailman aliases over to a separate aliases file ~mailman/data/aliases that is owned by user/group mailman. Then tell Postfix about both the /etc/aliases database and the ~mailman/data/aliases database. Next you need to rerun ./configure and tell it that the mail cgi's will be run by the group "mailman" rather than "mail". ./configure --with-mail-gid=mailman Then run make install. That should update the cgi's and not disturb your lists at all. In your ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file you might also want to change the value of MTA to "Postfix" so that it integrates with Postfix nicely: MTA = 'Postfix' The README.POSTFIX also has some relevant settings that will help you transition to Postfix smoothly.
