Re: [Mailman-Users] group mismatch error with postfix
Meanwhile I noticed that I get the same error, even if I move the mailman file away. The group mismatch error is coming from some Mailman mail/mailman wrapper, so if you move yours aside and still get the error, Postfix is piping to a different wrapper. Look at your Postfix configuration and find every alias file it references and look in all those files. There is some aliases* file somewhere referenced by Postfix and probably owned by root which is piping mail for this list to some other wrapper. I checked the aliases used by postfix and every occurence of mail/mailman or mail/wrapper, renamed them all, restarted mailman and postfix and - using commandline mail from mailx - still got the same error! After replacing package mailx by mail the command mailman finally could not be found as expected. Now with the new source installation of mailman everything is ok. If You have a sensible explanation for this, I would be interested. Seems that the whole installation was pretty broken.

Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group list, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=root'. I read the FAQ, and the hints about file ownership of the mailman aliases file in combination with postfix. It is set correctly to user and owner list and 660: -rw-rw 1 list list 6,7K 2006-09-18 16:37 aliases -rw-rw 1 list list 12K 2006-09-18 16:37 aliases.db This looks correct assuming that the particular alias in question came from the above aliases file and not from /etc/aliases* or some other file owned by root. Then I tried to install mailman from source giving --with-mail-gid=list in case some other file is involved, but that didn't help either. You have it backwards. The wrapper already expected group 'list'. You would have had to specify --with-mail-gid=root to fix the above mismatch. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq06.016.htp. The wrapper-script has ownership root:list and guid bit set: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root list 6,5K 2006-09-20 14:19 mailman It doesn't look like SETGID is set. It should be -rwxr-sr-x. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
