Hi Mike...
<p>Who/what is holding GID 65535? That might tell something useful...

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Hi-
<p>I have a problem running mailman 2.0.6 on a Redhat Linux 7.0 machine.
<br>I'm running sendmail 8.11.0 and linuxconf 1.24r5's version of
<br>vdeliver. I am using a "virtual" domain to receive the messages.
<br>I have configured mailman to use mail's gid as per the instructions,
<br>because this is what sendmail uses.
<p>I can subscribe myself to the mailing list and I receive the message
<br>ok. However, when I post to the list, I get:
<p> Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12,
GOT gid 65535. (Reconfigure to take 65535?)
<p>I don't want to reconfigure to use 65535 because that sounds insecure,
<br>and it would break a mailing list using the non-virtual domain (which
works
<br>fine). There is a closed bug report here, but it doesn't give
any info
<br>on how to solve it:
<p> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&aid=211347&func=detail">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&aid=211347&func=detail</a>
<p>Hers is my delivery agent configuration:
<p> # Special mailer for virtual email domain hosting
<br> Mvirtual, P=/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/vdeliver,
F=lsDFMShP, S=10, R=20/40,
<br>
A=vdeliver $u $h
<p>I understand the F=S is supposed to set the "effective gid" to the gid
of
<br>the parent sendmail process.
<p>I also see that there is another closed bug at
<p> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&func=detail&aid=214154">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=100103&func=detail&aid=214154</a>
<p>which mentions the egid vs. gid problem.... I dunno exactly whether
this
<br>is what causes this.
<p>There are lots of posts from a year or so ago on the mailing lists
<br>about this issue, but with no solutions. Has anyone figured out
<br>how to solve it?
<p>Thanks for any help!
<p>-Mike
