Has anyone set up mailman and Postfix on their RedHat box??
I am getting the dreaded GID error,
Mar 11 11:21:01 cascade postfix/local[8621]: A84803EF5:
to=<test at cascade.off.ournet.com.au>, relay=local, delay=1, status=bounced
(Command died with status 2: "/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post test". Command
output: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 99. (Reconfigure to
take 99?) )
and have read the mailman help file as to the fix, It suggests rebuilding
mailman with;
./configure --with-mail-gid=thegid
thegid = the result of running;
% python -c'import os; print os.getgid()
as the mailman user (which if I do this, I get thegid=41
(Which I am suspect about as 12 or 99 != 41)
If I am installing from a Redhat RPM, I cannot do this... I have altered
the postfix option of:
default_privs = mail
(which is the gid of 12) and this allows me to use mailman, but it may have
some effect on postfix and privs??
Can anyone enlighten me to if this is ok, or if I need to un-install the
RPM and install mailman from source and configure with my options.
Thanks
Brian
