See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp>. You have two choices to fix this just as the message says. If you configured and installed Mailman from source, you can change the group that Mailman expects with the configure command line option --with-mail-gid=nobody. If this is a gentoo package, you may or may not be able change the group the wrapper expects. Whether you can and how is a gentoo question. Your other choice is the make Postfix invoke the wrapper as group 'postfix'. You do this by making the owner of the aliases* files in which postfix finds the Mailman aliases be a user in the 'postfix' group. Note that the owner has to be in the 'postfix' group; it is not sufficient to make the group of the files 'postfix'. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
