[Mailman-Users] Install issue

[Jon Carnes]

Check out FAQ 3.14,

Sendmail is set to run as a user and a group, look in the Sendmail.cf
file for the UserID/GroupID that it uses when running.  Make sure that
group exists in /etc/group and is unique. Configure mailman to expect
that GID from the Mail server (./configure --with-mail-gid=mail ..)

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
