[Mailman-Users] Re: unknown mailer error 2

[Christopher Schulte]

An 'unknown mailer error 2' usually comes when the mailman wrapper is not 
configure the with the correct
mail gid... This is a complicated issue.  Take a look at the readme/install 
files for more info.

As for the http error, did you look and see that the user that the server 
runs as has permission to read and execute the file?

I'd check to see if anyone has been messing with password files (perhaps a 
UID has changed?) or other system configurations.  If things suddenly STOP 
working, it's usually the result of someone poking where they should not 
have. :-0  It may appear to be random, but I find this is almost never the 
case.

Good luck.
