[Mailman-Users] Qmail + Mailman

Greetings,

I have stock Qmail 1.0.3 running just fine as the MTA, and I have compiled
and integrated Mailman with Apache and created a test list.  I have also
read the README.QMAIL that comes with the source.

My approach to integrating the Mailman aliases was to use the normal
Sendmail /etc/aliases and then use Qmail's newaliases utility, and adding
in /usr/local/qmail/aliases a file called .qmail-default with the line
containing:

		|fastforward /etc/aliases.cdb

So, I sign myself up to the test mailing list using this e-mail *grin*,
and then wait patiently for a confirmation.  I then check my Qmail
"current" file under /var/log/qmail/qmail-send directory,
and see the following lines:

@400000003acc80382dd423bc status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
@400000003acc8039198ccb5c delivery 11: deferral:
Failure_to_exec_script._WANTED_
gid_12,_GOT_gid_503.__(Reconfigure_to_take_503?)/
@400000003acc8039198d9294 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Obviously, a problem with the group id on the system :-).
Stock, RedHat 7.0, mail gid is 12, alias gid is 503.

So, a few questions:

Is my methodology in creating the Qmail aliases ok?
How do I resolve the gid problem?

In the meantime, I'll try to make more sense of the README.QMAIL file.

Thanks in advance,
Will Sarka
