Hi
I sent a help request several hours ago, but have since, in my own efforts to understand and fix, un-installed and re-installed mailman. This is where I am at now.
I am running mailman 2.1.4-5 on a Debian system with Exim4. This is with the split configuration files instead of the single configuration file for exim. I have created a list (test) and that worked. I have added users to the list and that worked. I then sent an email to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and that didn't work. It seems that mailman is expecting for the group to be daemon and the group that exim is set-up for is Debian-exim. Since this is a Debian installation, I have no control over setting the default user and group that mailman sets up with (--with-mail-gid=). Is there any way to fix this? This is the bounce that I get from exim/mailman when I send the test message
Please note that I am a relatively new user to linux. I am not a programmer or trained systems expert, so simple explanations would be appreciated.A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "daemon", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "Debian-exim". Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group "daemon", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=Debian-exim'.
