David,

Thanks for your input. From your message it is hard to tell what you mean about the /etc/aliases. This is what the /etc/aliases look like:

## theclubs mailing list theclub: "|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper post theclub" theclub-admin: "|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner theclub" theclub-request: "|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd theclub" theclub-owner: theclub-admin owner-theclub: theclub-admin

/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper is the full path of wrapper and when I run it from the command line, I get an exit code of 5 which I think is from common.c: #define MAIL_USAGE_ERROR 5. On that note, an exit code of 2 corresponds to #definte GID_MISMATCH 2. Group ID mismatch? But all files in the /usr/local/mail/mailman directory subtree belong to the mailman group. Also, does the owner of the files matter? Who should own wrapper? I've tried me, root, and mailman, all to no avail.

mailman is a Trusted user as far as sendmail is concerned, and sendmail.cf has a line called "O DontBlameSendmail=IncludeFileInGroupWritableDirPath", but I don't think that's a problem considering the exit code sounds like it comes from wrapper itself.

Very confused. Please help.

Sincerly, Aaryn Olsson

It looks like you don't have /etc/aliases set right.

Hello to all,

Recently we just changed over our servers and now we are having problems with mailman. We have installed Mailman-1.1 but we still get these bounced messages. I have included a copy of the bounced message below. We were using Solaris 2.6 but are now using Solaris 2.8. I have also installed Python 1.5.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.
