6.1.1 Integrating Postfix and Mailman
.
.
* When you configure Mailman, use the --with-mail-gid=mailman
switch; this will be the default if you configured Mailman after
adding the mailman owner. Because the owner of the aliases.db file
is mailman, Postfix will execute Mailman's wrapper program as uid
and gid mailman.

expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the
system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailman". Try
tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "nobody", or re-run
configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.

I have tried to rebuild mailman BUT the configuration option screen does not
appear. I have tried
# make with-mail-gid=mailman
but still get the same results
#./configure --with-mail-gid=mailman
is not available
There seems that mailman does not keep a record of relevant configuration
setting and the command to extract current settings for mailman
bin/config_list does not report this setting either.
What should I be doing here?
Thanks in advance
david
