[Mailman-Users] Subscription Confirmation Emails Failing

[Aaron Crosman]

I am having trouble with the subscription confirmation emails.  If I
used the link in the email everything is fine, but email reply process
fails. I'm running Mailman 2.1.4 with exim  (4.30-25.2) and a SuSE 9.1
server.

When a user replies to the email they are sent the message I included at
the end of this email.

I looked in the exim logs to see if I could sort out where the process
was failing and I found this:

================

I tested exim directly and found that it was sending the message to the
mailman_router that I setup.  The second entry and a search of this
list's archives made me wonder if there was a permissions issue, so I
checked and mail was not in the mailman group.  I added mail to the
mailman group, and mailman to the mail group (just in case).  I
restarted both processes and I got the same result.  Can anyone point me
toward help here?  The path to the command is right, but something is
clearly wrong.

Thanks
Aaron
