[Mailman-Users] --with-mail-gid using postfix

[Thomas Spellman]

I'm trying to compile mailman 2.0.13 to run with postfix.  The following are
the relevant lines from my postfix main.cf:

mail_owner = postfix
default_privs = nobody

Apache is running as "apache:apache".

I tried
--with-mail-gid=nobody --with-cgi-gid=apache
--with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=apache

mail-gid=nobody is the only one that doesn't give the "wanted 953 / got 99"
error, but none of the mailman aliases work.  I put some other test aliases
in the same file as my mailman aliases and postfix uses them just fine.

I did a "chmod 2775 -R ."  in my /home/mailman directory then I recompiled
and reinstalled, then I ran "check_perms -f".

logs/smtp and logs/smtp-failure are packed with errors, several per second
