[Mailman-Users] OS X Permissions Help.

[Chris Florio]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get mailman working on my intel based Mac Mini running  
10.4.8 (NOT OS X Server).  I'm running Postfix configured using  
http://cutedgesystems.com/software/MailServe/

I have configured and installed mailman using some instructions I  
found here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-July/045697.html

The problem is, it looks like i have a group or ownership problem  
somewhere.

As the instructions said, I configured using:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/Applications/mailman --with-cgi-gid=www -- 
with-mail-gid=mailman


Using the instructions from the list I found, I am getting this error  
posting to a list I created:

...

The Postfix program

<alumni at citadel97.com>: Command died with status 2:
     "/Applications/mailman/mail/mailman post alumni". Command  
output: Group
     mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be  
executed as
     group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail  
script as
     group "www".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as  
group
     "mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
     `--with-mail-gid=www'.


...

So, I tried again using:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/Applications/mailman --with-cgi-gid=www -- 
with-mail-gid=www

And then I get this error:

	The Postfix program

Any ideas?

Thanks!
