I've sent this to the package maintainer and have gotten no repsponse, so I'm forwarding it the the ports mailing list hoping someone here can fix it.

Subject: Re: Bug in Mailman package in 3.8

Have you had a chance to look at this problem?

I simply changed the values in Defaults.py to _mailman, and it allowed me to run mailmanctl start. Is is possible for you to roll a new package with this change?

There's a bug in your package of Mailman 2.1.6 for OpenBSD 3.8. I think your ./configure script might be wrong, in Mailman/Defaults.py MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP are empty, whereas in older versions they are _mailman. When you run bin/mailmanctl start, you get a whole slew or errors due to a permission problem:
# mailmanctl start
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./mailmanctl", line 547, in ?
   main()
 File "./mailmanctl", line 340, in main
   check_privs()
 File "./mailmanctl", line 287, in check_privs
   gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: 'getgrnam(): name not found: '

Any ideas?
