[Mailman-Users] Newbie Installtion problem

[Noel Fitzpatrick]

Hey all,
I've recently had to reinstall a lot of apps due to a failed disk. One of
these was mailman which has worked fine for ages on the previous installation 
but I can't seem to get it working now (I didn't do the original
install).Here are the details : -

FreeBSD enigma.redbrick.dcu.ie 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #2: Mon Mar  5
20:21:43 GMT 2001     root at enigma.redbrick.dcu.ie:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENIGMA
i386

is the system I'm running with postfix as the MTA and apache using suEXEC for
cgi's. None of this has changed since the previous install.

I tried installing mailman in the webtree as follows :-

--prefix=/usr/local/web/htdocs/mailman
--with-python=/usr/local/bin/python
--with-mail-gid=65534 (gid of nobody)
--with-cgi-gid=1010 (gid of cgi-scripts)


However when I send mails to a list address or a list owner address nothing
happens. My mail log shows the following 

Apr  6 15:33:53 enigma postfix/local[19401]: D74323261F:
to=<noel-list at redbrick.dcu.ie>, relay=local, delay=2, status=sent
("|/usr/local/web/htdocs/mailman/mail/wrapper post noel-list")

so I think its being sent?


I also tried this configuration 

--prefix=/usr/local/web/htdcos/mailman
--with-python=/usr/local/bin/python
--with-mail-gid=1004
--with-cgi-gid=1010 (this is correct)


I tried this because if you read the INSTALL file that comes with mailman one
of the common problems is when using postfix and the above is the suggested
solution. 1004 being the gid returned when I followed the instructions in
INSTALL.

However when I use this configuration mails are returned with this error.

<test-list at redbrick.dcu.ie>: Command died with status 2:
    "/usr/local/web/htdocs/mailman/mail/wrapper post test-list". Command
    output: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 1004, GOT gid 65534.
    (Reconfigure to take 65534?)



I've tried everything I can think of and basically hit a dead end any help
would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.


Regards,        
Noel.
