I have a number of mailman lists that I'm attempting to migrate from an older OpenBSD server running Mailman 2.1.2 to a new RHEL server running Mailman 2.1.5. I built the new version from source, setting the mail-gid (postfix) and cgi-gid (apache) accordingly. I then copied over everything in /var/spool/mailman and set permissions for mailman ownership.

Unfortunately, it appears that the mailing lists will need additional manipulation to get them working properly. I'm seeing the following errors when sending test mails to a list:

Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Command died with status 2:
"/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post hatchet-users". Command output: Group
mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as
group "postfix", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "nobody". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
"postfix", or re-run configure, providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=nobody'.


What can I do to resolve this? Do I need to manually dump/restore list configurations from the old server (if so, how)?

Thanks in advance,
