[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman with Postfix.

[David Smead]

Jorge,

On my Linux machine, running sendmail, gid 12 is mail and nobody is gid 99
which is what mailman runs under.

With different gids, you will have to do some tweaking.  In the Makefile,
gid 12 is defined, and that is what wrapper uses as verification that the
process invoking wrapper is mail.

Sincerely,
