Hello to all. It's been a while since I've posted here. I have been
very happy with Mailman on OS X Server with much credit going to the
kind people on this list. However the chance to move these horrible
server fans out of my home has come into my lap and I must grab it.
Unfortunately this means moving everything from my G4 to my new Linux
RedHat box. It's been easier than I thought actually. RedHat Linux
feels much less cluttered and confusing than OS X Server's brand of
UNIX. I really like it a lot. However.......
I am using the default Mailman 2.1 installed by RedHat. I can manage
groups via listinfo in my web browser and even add and remove members
to the groups that I create; plus, the mail log indicates that
messages are relayed on their merry way to the correct Mailman
commands location however no posts or admin mails are ever sent or
received.
The big clue here is that when I go to
/var/mailman/bin
and type
./mailmanctl restart
I get the following
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mailmanctl", line 524, in ?
main()
File "./mailmanctl", line 319, in main
check_privs()
File "./mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs
gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found
I have deleted all groups and even commented the mailman references
out of Postfix main.cf but the error does not change. I even
removed /var/mailman/data/<all virtual and data files> to try to
jostle the error but still no change. There is indeed a mailman user
and group on the machine as far as I can tell but still this most
stubborn error persists.
Any thoughts from any of you generous folk?
Thanks,
Evan Miller
