[Mailman-Users] Howto solve unknown mailer error without recompiling?

[Mark Gillingham]

I installed the RPM for Linux, which worked well out of the box. Then
trouble started after I worked on configurations of Samba and Apache.
Somthing I did caused the GID to change apparently. Being a novice, I'm
not sure what I did but I assume it has to do with Apache. Must I
reinstall from source to solve the problem or is there an Apache setting
that I can change?

Last time I talked to the guy doing the Mailman RPM for Mandrake (my 
favorite dist), he said that he was setting it up to work with Postfix. 

You might want to look around and see if there is a specific MDK-rpm for

sendmail.  Or you might want to use Postfix as your MTA.

An other option is to install from source.  Installing from source is
very 
trivial:  You download the source and extract it (tar -xzf ...), change
to 
the directory formed by untarring it and run "./configure" then "make 
install"
