Since you are running a virtual setup with multiple copies, did you install each copy to run as "mailman" or did you follow the recommended process of giving each install a unique user (like mailman002, mailman003, etc)?

Another item to look at, are the installs running in a chrooted environment, and if so, do the users and groups exist within that chrooted environment?

Folks:

I've just 'completed' (hmmm) an installation of mailman with Exim 4.1 on MacOS X Server 10.2.3 and although mailman is configured and runs ok, mail messages are not getting from exim into Mailman.

The error message(s) I get in Exim are:

2003-01-12 23:41:13 H8MK2L-0004F3-00 unable to set gid=1025 or uid=1027 (euid=25): local delivery to test-list <test-list@neonnumbers.com> transport=mailman_transport 2003-01-12 23:41:13 H8MK2L-0004F3-00 failed to read delivery status for test-list@neonnumbers.com from delivery subprocess

The gid and uid numbers are the mailman group and user respectively.

Mailman is installed in a virtual host configuration with a separate copy of Mailman for each domain within the Mailman user directory, e.g.:

/Users/mailman/neonnumbers.com contains the Mailman installation for neonnumbers.com /Users/mailman/other-domain.com contains the Mailman installation for other-domain.com Etc

The config for Exim is from the 'how-to' docs and is a router as follows:

### Router forMailman mail lists ###

mailman_router: driver = accept require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}/lists/$local_part/config.pck local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* :
-confirm+* : -join : -leave :
-owner : -request : -admin transport = mailman_transport

Which I think is working fine. The problem seems to be in the transport configuration:

## Transport for Mailman ####

mailman_transport: driver = pipe command = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}/mail/mailman
'${if def:local_part_suffix
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}}
{post}}'
$local_part current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain} home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain} user = MAILMAN_USER group = MAILMAN_GROUP

(where MAILMAN_HOME is /User/mailman and the MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP are 'mailman')

I have checked all the configuration with respect to Mailman and all seems fine (e.g. Check_perms reports all is well).

This looks like it's a permissions thing either in mailman or Exim, but I'm a bit stumped thus far - any help or guidance appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
