The cgi's are working fine.

I've checked the main.cf and it reads as follows.

default_privs = nobody

so.. I reran configure with the --with-mail-gid=nobody But it complained that nobody is not a group. Indeed it isn't. The group that servers that funcion on SuSE is 'nogroup'. I tried that too. Anyways, postfix still complains as before regardless.

Did you try:

'configure --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-mail-gid=nobody

This is the typical setup on FreeBSD.

You can find the mail-gid in your /etc/postfix/main.cf -- look for:

 default_privs = nobody

You can find your cgi-gid in /etc/apache/httpd.conf -- look for:

User nobody
Group nobody

Use the Group entry of course. On many Linux installations, Apache is set up with group "nogroup" and postfix uses group "nobody". In this case:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-cgi-gid=nogroup --with-mail-g id=nobody make all postfix stop make install postfix start

I've changed the gid of wrapper to postfix. The error is unchanged.

Is there anyway I can stop postfix from doing this check?

I don't know. I've never had the problem. I guess you should take this back to the mailing list.
