[Mailman-Users] The dreaded GID mismatch problem

[Matt Staroscik]

I have been trolling the net and recompiling for hours but I have made 
little headway. Here's hoping someone has a tip that hasn't been archived 
somewhere online yet...

I'm getting the classic "Child process of list_transport transport returned 
2" error. My setup is FreeBSD 4.5, exim 3.34, mailman 2.0.8. It's a fresh 
install, though I brought some config files over from the previous build -- 
including an exim config file that played nice with mailman 2 on the old 
system!

If there is a GID mismatch, I get the regular error message above. If I 
configure things so that there is no mismatch, I get no error in maillog, 
exim's log shows a message making it into the transport system... and 
nothing else happens. The message vanishes.

I have read the docs, including the page at exim.org on how to set up the 
exim config file (and mine is still looking good), but I cannot get 
satisfaction. I have been through this once before, but I solved the 
problem quickly at the time. Something doesn't feel right now... Any ideas 
would be appreciated. I like mailman, but if I can't get it to work with 
exim I will have to find a substitute. (any ideas if it comes to that?)
