[Mailman-Users] postfix+mailman, part 2

[Yogesh Subhash Talekar]

hi,

As the erros says you should have configured the mailman
'--with-mail-gid=nogroup' option.

So go to your extracted tar-ball directory, so "su - mailman" and as a
user "mailman" say:
$ ./configure --prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman
--with-cgi-gid=nogroup --with-mail-gid=nogroup
$ make
$ make install

This should work.

May be you installed mailman when logged in as root!
