[Mailman-Users] MI:3 - Installing Mailman on Solaris

[Ron Jarrell]

Basically, what's happening, is that postfix isn't configured how you think it's configured.

You told mailman to expect the wrapper to be invoked by the mail system with a gid of
"postfix", which, from your files below is 59999.  It's telling you it was *not* invoked that
way, it was run with a gid of 60001, which is nobody.

Your two, very simple, choices are:

Re run configure with --with-mail-gid=60001
Reconfigure postfix to run programs as postfix instead of nobody.
