When I send a message to the list, nothing happens. No errors are produced in any logs that I know of, no bounces are sent to myself as list subscriber nor as mailman-owner (See Item 2).

Are you certain it's not in qfiles?

Did you update crontab as INSTALL says to do?

Is mailman's gid 259?

But it just disappears. No messages pertaining to mailman are held in the mail queue (We use sendmail 8.9.3). When I run mail/wrapper post from the command line, I get the error "Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 259, GOT gid 0. (Reconfigure to take 0?)." When I run bin/check_perms, I get the message, "No problems found." This is what the permissions are on my mail and scripts directory:

ag: /home/guest/mailman/ > ls -al mail total 76 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Jul 31 15:25 ./ drwxrwsr-x 17 mailman mailman 512 Jul 31 14:49 ../ -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mailman 36780 Jul 31 15:25 wrapper*

ag: /home/guest/mailman/ > ls -al scripts total 54 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 512 Jul 31 15:25 ./ drwxrwsr-x 17 mailman mailman 512 Jul 31 14:49 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 1507 Jul 31 15:25 answer_majordomo_mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 9515 Jul 31 15:25 driver -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 2351 Jul 31 15:25 mailcmd -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 2502 Jul 31 15:25 mailowner -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 1537 Jul 31 15:24 paths.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 285 Jul 31 15:26 paths.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 3302 Jul 31 15:25 post

Okay, So I decide to reconfigure like it suggests: (Reconfigure to take 0?)

So I go back to the mailman source and type the following commands:

rm -rf /home/guest/mailman/* ./configure --with-mail-gid=0 --with-cgi-gid=nobody --prefix=/home/guest/mailman /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail stop make install /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail start echo hi | mail abc_test

Now, at least, the bounce message comes to mailman-owner, but it says this: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 0, GOT gid 259. (Reconfigure to take 259?)554 "|/home/guest/mailman/mail/wrapper post abc_test"... unknown mailer error 2

What the *$%# is going on here?
