Hi People, I spent most of the weekend trying to install Mailman; no-joy. I got close late Saturday night when I received a "wwlist-request" from my Mailman server on 'sage.thought.org'. When I sent in the reply to "coonfirm" it bounced; the return mail said there was no such user as "wwlist-request".
This appears to be a gid problem. Originally, I build things strictly out of the box. I played around with the mailman binary; it said that I should rebuild the suite with '--with-mail-gid=wheel' rather than "mailnull". I rebuilt and reinstalled. No difference. This morning I rebuilt my mailman port from scratch. Here is the output from sendmail's /var/mail/maillog: Sep 20 11:49:39 sage Mailman mail-wrapper: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailnull", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "daemon". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailnull", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=daemon'. Sep 20 11:49:39 sage sendmail[24478]: i8KInch0024476: to="|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner wwlist", ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=139083, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 2 I'm trying to set up Mailman on my DNS server, ns1.thought.org, alias sage.thought.org. This servr is running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and sendmail. If re-running ./configure with the option `--with-mail-gid=daemon', that would be the easiest fix. Otherwise, any help to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it would be a mjor help++ ! thanks, gary kline -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ------------------------------------------------------ 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/
