[Mailman-Users] New Mailman user on RedHat 9.0

[Michael D. Hensley]

Greetings!

I'm attempting to use Mailman on RedHat Linux 9.0. I installed it as
part of the initial installation of RedHat, via the RPM that came on the
CD.

I set up a list using the "newlist" command, and added three email
accounts via the "add_user" command. I added the aliases to
/etc/aliases, and ran the "newaliases" command. I then sent a message to
the list, but haven't received it anywhere, nor has it bounced.

(The list is named "analog-news", on server "intranet.gofcc.org".

Following the FAQ, I ran the following command with the results shows:

[root at sl101 mailman]# bin/check_perms
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/check_perms", line 51, in ?
    MAILMAN_GID = grp.getgrnam(MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found
[root at sl101 mailman]#

Here is the tail of my /var/log/maillog file:
