Mark said, "Yes, it has the flags, but what is the value of the ${MAILGID} parameter? The error message you received says it's 'mailman' and should be 'mail'."
And looking at the log, he seems to be correct: Sep 12 12:16:19 [Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but_the system's mail server executed the mail script as_group "mail". Try tweaking the mail server to run the_script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, _providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'._ But the .ebuild script sets it to gid 280, shouldn't it be 8? why is that? Is that the problem? How can I fix that. Re-emerging doesn't let me change those .ebuild values. MD5 errors and such. APACHEGID="81" MAILGID="280" src_compile() { econf \ --prefix=${INSTALLDIR} \ --with-mail-gid=${MAILGID} \ --with-cgi-gid=${APACHEGID} \ || die "configure failed" make || die "make failed" } # ll /etc/exim/exim.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29452 Apr 29 13:54 /etc/exim/exim.conf # User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid # switch to Mailman's configure script. # Value is normally "mailman" MM_UID=mailman MM_GID=mailman So, these match what the comment says there, and what the .ebuild is doing. I'm so confused. *sigh* ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
