John:

Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script.

I am unsure how to resolve THIS error=2E I am hoping there is some
configuration file that I can update, instead of having to reconfigure my
Mailman installation entirely=2E=20



The group information is compiled into the mailman wrapper. You have two
choices, you can either change the group the MTA operates under to match
mailman or rebuild mailman again passing the group in the configure step
as recommended in the error message, this is probably the best solution.
FWIW a complete rebuild of mailman only takes a short while on most
boxes so it shouldn't be to painful, then just install to the same
location, nothing else should be affected although it might be prudent
to stop mailman during the install.


Thanks for the suggestions. I hate asking but I will. I vaguely understand the 'wrapper' concept, but you lost me in telling me to change the group, I know what a group is in linux, that one may belong to various groups, which permits or denys access and executive privilege based on the group, but i am miffed how to change a group under which some process or application operates. How do I change it's group, or even determine what group it works under? If it's too painful, or complex, and simply reconfiguring Mailman to work better with Exim is preferable, point the way, how to rebuild mailman to include all the right stuff.

Thanks for helping and not flaming me..
