[Mailman-Users] Installation on Irix: Installs Fine, Behaves Badly

  I've just gotten the latest mailman installed on my irix system (an
  O2).  I set up the test list and it, cosmetically, seemed to be fine;
  I added myself as a subscriber, poked around at the web interface,
  and so on.  Seemed to like it.

  Then I tried posting a message to the list.  Nothing.  Again.
  Nothing.  Checked syslog, and found this spew came up whenever I
  tried to send a message;

Dec 20 10:37:42 6C:iago sendmail[18714]: KAA18714: from=iago, size=5, class=0, pri=30005, nrcpts=1, msgid=<199912201037.KAA18714 at iago.net>, relay=iago at localhost

  Now, this doesn't seem to be as clear as 'reconfigure mailman to take
  0', because that's, well, what I did on the second or third
  recompile-with-a-different-mail-delivery-gid attempt.  I'm also not
  sure why it wants gid 2147430212, since that's, well, ludicrous.

  I feel as though I've tried FAQ-based solutions, and I've ended up
  stuck.  Am I encountering a solved problem here, and I'm just not applying
  the solution?  I sure hope so.

Thanks for any help,

Fred
