I've just gotten the latest mailman installed on my irix system (an O2). I set up the test list and it, cosmetically, seemed to be fine; I added myself as a subscriber, poked around at the web interface, and so on. Seemed to like it.
Then I tried posting a message to the list. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Checked syslog, and found this spew came up whenever I tried to send a message;
Dec 20 10:37:42 6C:iago sendmail[18714]: KAA18714: from=iago, size=5, class=0, pri=30005, nrcpts=1, msgid=<199912201037.KAA18714@iago.net>, relay=iago@localhost Dec 20 10:37:42 6C:iago sendmail[18714]: KAB18714: clone KAA18714, owner=testlist-admin Dec 20 10:37:42 3C:iago Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script.

Now, this doesn't seem to be as clear as 'reconfigure mailman to take 0', because that's, well, what I did on the second or third recompile-with-a-different-mail-delivery-gid attempt. I'm also not sure why it wants gid 2147430212, since that's, well, ludicrous.
I feel as though I've tried FAQ-based solutions, and I've ended up stuck. Am I encountering a solved problem here, and I'm just not applying the solution? I sure hope so.
Thanks for any help,
Fred
