[Mailman-Users] slight technical hitch...

[David Ball]

	As the error message indicates, it's not thrilled with the GID
that it you're running the mail wrapper with.  Fixing this requires that
you rerun ./configure with the --with-mail-gid= and set it to the same GID
that your mailer uses (check your sendmail.cf...look for DefaultUser= and
use the second number).  Naturally, you'd follow this up with a `make
install` ... hope that helps!
	Check http://www.list.org/install-config.html for more details on
./configure options.
