more help with mailman configure and GID
Okay, another migration, another GID problem. I configured mailman to run as mail GID=mailman (which is 502) and cgi-gid = apache (which is 48). The configuration and installation went fine and check_perms showed no problems.
Setting up lists works okay. However, when I try to send a mesage to the list, I get this:
test7@myserver.com on 8/29/2007 11:36 AM Failed (Command died with status 8: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test7". Command output: Failure to find group name for GID 1004. Mailman expected the mail wrapper to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the wrapper as GID 1004 for which the name could not be found. Try adding GID 1004 to your system as "mailman", or tweak your mail server to run the wrapper as group "mailman".)
Why is it looking at mailman GID=1004 when it is 502? Mailman UID is 1004, but not GID. I tried reconfiguring it with mail GID = nobody, which I have done before, but still get this message.
Help is most welcome.

I honestly like it when my questions are skimmed over. It makes me realize that I have way more resources to fix things than I initially think.
In this case, it was a "simple" case of the mailman /etc/passwd user entry showing a GID that didn't match the /etc/group mailman entry. I did try changing the /etc/group mailman entry to the actual GID that it was looking for, but the mailman installation broke. Eventually, I noticed that there was a mismatch.
So, all should be okay. Thanks for ignoring me.

Hey, I wasn't ignoring you. I was just out all day :-)
So now you can ignore my initial reply, and I'm glad you've got it working.

The message above is telling you that the mail wrapper is expecting to be invoked as group 'mailman' (which you already know because you told it to expect that when you configured with --with-mail-gid=mailman), but the MTA is executing the pipe to Mailman as GID 1004.
rerunning configure with --with-mail-gid=1004 may fix this or you could try to change whatever is required in your MTA or its Mailman aliases to make it run the pipe to Mailman as group Mailman.
