The --with-mail-gid=postfix doesn't come into play yet, because you aren't getting that far. This causes the /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman wrapper to check that it was invoked from the postfix group to prevent just anyone from running it. In your case it isn't being executed because the OS is saying postfix doesn't have permission to run it. >However, I keep encountering errors where postfix is unable to execute the >wrapper for /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman > >The errors on my maillog are here: > >fatal: execvp /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman : Permission denied > >Can anyone point me in the right direction? Posting to postfix doesnt seem >to yield any remedies. Thanks What happens if you log in as the postfix user/group (or su to the postfix user/group) and try to run the wrapper? /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman should produce Usage: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman program [args...] or something similar? If you get permission denied, you have to solve that. If you don't, you have to figure out what is different between your doing it and Postfix's doing it. BTW, I believe that Postfix will try to execute the wrapper as the user/group that owns the aliases.db file that contains the mailman aliases. This may not be consistent with your --with-mail-gid=postfix configure option. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
