Hi

I am an new user, installed Mailman on a Debian server running Exim. I have
finally figured out how to get the proper urls working and being able to get
to the various webpages supplied for list and admins, but when I try to
subscribe a test user from the web interface, I get the following error
message.

---------------
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test
    generated by test-request at livingsky.net
    Child process of address_pipe transport returned 2 from command:
    /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test
       generated by test-request at livingsky.net ------

Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 1, GOT gid 103.  (Reconfigure to take
103?)


Now, from reading the troubleshooting list at
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/install-faq.html, I get that Mailman is
looking for a different gid, but this is Debian and I can't configure
anything when it installs a program. How do I change this so that it will
work? BTW, I can subscribe the address from the admin page, but not from the
general subscription page.
