Thanks for the suggestions. I hate asking but I will. I vaguely
understand the 'wrapper' concept, but you lost me in telling me to
change the group, I know what a group is in linux, that one may belong
to various groups, which permits or denys access and executive privilege
based on the group, but i am miffed how to change a group under which
some process or application operates. How do I change it's group, or
even determine what group it works under? If it's too painful, or
complex, and simply reconfiguring Mailman to work better with Exim is
preferable, point the way, how to rebuild mailman to include all the
right stuff.
Thanks for helping and not flaming me..
