If you are running a package, this is a question for your packager. or changing postifx to execute the mailman script with user mailman. thank you This is more likely the answer for you. In most cases with Postfix, Mailman-Postfix integration is used. See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html. In this case, the Mailman aliases for postfix are in Mailman's data/aliases and data/aliases.db files. Postfix invokes the wrapper as user:group of the files in which it finds the alias, so make these files group mailman.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Hi, how to re-configure mailman to mail-gid ...
Hi, thank you. I have solved it: * First i deleted the mailman dir at /usr/local/mailman with rm -R /usr/... * Then i create it again as described in the mailman manual * after this i configured the mailman source with the --with-mail-gid=nobody (is this not an security hole? Why NOBODY?) * then i installed it again with make install * and works ... :) but why nobody?? thanks yavuz On 3/12/07, Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TRON478 wrote: how can i re-configure mailman with the option --with-mail-gid=mailman If you installed Mailman from source, this is an option to the configure command.
