[Mailman-Users] slight technical hitch...

[Joshua S. Freeman]

Thanks David,

Unfortnately,  looking at our sendmail.cf file, DefaultUser is not set..


# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
#O DefaultUser=mailnull


Is there a UID or GID that sendmail uses, that mailman might want in cases
like this where sendmail.cf does not indicate a specific defaultUser?

TIA,

J.
