[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.0.5 on RH 7.1 - problems with sendmail

[vijay]

This is highly system dependent and you must get this right, because the 
group id is compiled into the mail wrapper program for added security.  
On systems using sendmail, the sendmail.cf configuration file designates  
the group id of sendmail processes using the "DefaultUser" option.  (If 
commented out, it still may be indicating the default...) 

check the option 
#O DefaultUser=mailnull 

uncomment it and give mailman as defaultuser.

O DefaultUser=mailman
