Error comfirming subscription from Mailman
After I installed Mailman on my FreeBSD server, I created a test list and sent a subscription to it, the server returned the folowing error message. What causes this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Jeffrey

Make sure you setup the alias file for your mail server, you skipped that step. Its different for each mail server.

Modern man is the missing link between apes and human beings.
Hello - I'm new to Mailman.
I have just recently installed mailman 2.0.12 on a FreeBSD 4.7 system using the pkg_add feature.
I believe I have successfully configured the majority of the software package, but ever since I ran the '/usr/local/mailman/cron/crontab.in' I have been receiving the following e-mail message every minute:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 276, in ? lock.lock(timeout=0.5) File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 219, in lock self.__write() File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 350, in __write fp = open(self.__tmpfname, 'w') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/mailman/locks/qrunner.lock.devilbear.kumacommunications.net. 14720'
/usr/local/ mailman dir entry reads as:
drwxrwsr-x 18 root mailman 512 <date> mailman
Almost everything under /usr/local/mailman reads: (only expection is number of links in ls -l listing of some items)
drwxrwsr-x 2 root 91 512 <date> <dirname>
I apologize that if this has been addressed on this list before, but I have been so far unable to find a searchable archive of the Mailman-Users list.
Any help / guidance to solve the issue above would be most appreciated.
Regards, Chris

Did you manually add the mailman user and group before installing Mailman, or let the port add them? The port expects a certain UID and GID to be mapped to the Mailman user/group, specifically 91/91. If you're using some other UID/GID it'll be confused.

I originally added the user and group mailman, but had the wrong GIDs, I subsequently removed the pkg, changed the uid and gid to 91/91 then reinstalled the package. Then I added the crontab.in file and there were no problems...
However, I have now noted the following error:
After I successfully create my first test list 'test-list', add the aliases, do the Postfix postmap & reload, I get the subscription confirmation message from the test list creation. However, when I try to send a post to the new test-list, I get the following error from Postfix:
The Postfix program
<Test-list@devilbear.kumacommunications.net>: Command died with status 2: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post test-list". Command output: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 26, GOT gid 65534. (Reconfigure to take 65534?)
Is there something Mailman-related that I can do to fix this error?
