[Mailman-Users] Group mismatch error

[James Jones]

I have 2.1.1 installed on a RH8 box with Sendmail (sendmail-8.12.8-1.80). I dealt with the smrsh issue by creating a symbolic link in the /etc/smrsh directory. However, I'm not getting this problem.

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "mail".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group "mailman", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'.
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2

I tried recompiling it with `--with-mail-gid=mail' too but I still get the same error. Going though the stuff in the 'contrib' directory originally (for sendmail), I put a copy of mm-handler in /etc/mail and took the last section of mailman.mc and added it to sendmail.mc and regenerated a sendmail.cf file. Here is what I added (maybe I should have added more):

## IMPORTANT: mm-handler assumes this behavior to avoid having to know
## too much about address parsing and other RFC-2822 mail details.
