[Mailman-Users] Question about the Group mismatch error when updating mailman service
Dear all I have a strange question for creating a new list after updating mailman server. Currently, I had updated my mailman server to a new machine. (mailman-2.1.5_2 - mailman-2.1.9_5) My server is FreeBSD 7.0, Postfix + mailman 2.1.9_5 And I translate the lists and archives on old machine to new machine. I called these lists old lists. The old lists can work correctly on the new machine. Now I create a new list by bin/newlist, but it got a error when I send mail to this new list which is /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post eos. Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group nobody, but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group mailman. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group nobody, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'. So I reinstall mailman server with --with-mail-gid=mailman setting. Then the new list can work correctly. But the other question happened. Group mismatch error happeded on the old lists which is /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post xip. Command output: 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 nobody. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailman, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nobody' Now I'm confused at this situation because I didn't change the system's mail server. But it shows that the system's mail server executed the mail script as group mailman and nobody after I reinstalled. Why? How can I solve this question? Can anyone give me any idea? Thanks a lot!!!

Since you appear to be building mailman from ports/mail/mailman, do a cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman make config And then set the MTA option to POSTFIX, Then just make install or use portupgrade or your favorite ports management tool. Setting the POSTFIX option for building the port will build mailman correctly to run with the correct owner and group settings needed for postfix FreeBSD. But the other question happened.

Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mailman, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nobody' After you have reinstalled mailman with all the proper group and ownerships (the port Makefile really does do it correctly), then in cd /usr/local/mailman/bin ./check_perms ./check_perms -f Cheers, -j -- Jeffrey Goldberghttp://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
