Hi there:
I'm trying to run Mailman list processor a few days here already, but no luck yet. Below is short description on operations.
First off: our site is running qmail and I am not intended to change this. Right now I'm running ezmlm for list, it works very well, but management just hurts :) Inventory here: # rpm -q python python-1.5.1-5 # uname -a Linux jenka.asosise 2.0.36 #1 Tue Dec 29 13:11:13 EST 1998 i686 unknown
OK, downloaded Mailman from www.list.org, untarred, RTFM and go! I need to set mail-gid and cgi-gid # id -g alias 80 # ./configure --with-mail-gid=80 --with-cgi-gid=99
# make; make install
Perfect, new-list works just well, as does CGI-interface.
# cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-info |preline /home/mailman/mail/wrapper post info
OK, let's try to send mail.. oops, no action. Quick look to qmail and mail.* logfiles:
qmail: 935501275.051940 new msg 10187 935501275.051960 info msg 10187: bytes 214 from <riho@we.aso.ee> qp 26804 uid 0935501275.116318 starting delivery 16013: msg 10187 to local info@aso.ee 935501275.116348 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
mail.*: Aug 24 13:15:59 jenka Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 80, GOT gid 2108. (Reconfigure to take 2108?)
Hmm, there's no gid 2108 on system at all. Even no uid. I'm lost! What's wrong?
Thanks in advance, Rx.

Well, it /could/ be a qmail thing :) -- I have no direct experience w/ qmail -- however this error message definitely means that the mail wrapper program is getting invoked with a gid of 2108. Look at common.c... the getgid() system call is definitely returning 2108, which doesn't match the gid 80 that you compiled with.
