Did a make install from the FreeBSD Ports tree with the following
options set (as per a Postfix install):
MM_USERNAME=mailman The username of the Mailman user.
MM_USERID=91 The user ID of the Mailman user.
MM_GROUPNAME=mailman The group to which the Mailman user will belong.
MM_GROUPID=MM_USERID The group ID for the Mailman user.
MM_DIR=mailman Mailman will be installed in /usr/local/mailman.
CGI_GID=www The group name or id under which your web server
executes CGI scripts.
IMGDIR=www/icons Icon images will be installed in
/usr/local/www/icons.
However, I attempt to mail the test list I created, and get the
following error:
Diagnostic-Code: x-unix; Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the system's mail
server executed the mail script as group "mailman". Try tweaking the mail
server to run the script as group "nobody", or re-run configure, providing
the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.
The permissions on /usr/local/mailman/data/ are:
total 56
-rw-r----- 1 root mailman 41 Jan 26 13:33 adm.pw
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 4540 Feb 5 11:26 aliases
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 16384 Feb 5 11:26 aliases.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 13948 Feb 5 11:25 english252.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 10 Feb 5 11:43 last_mailman_version
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 6 Feb 5 11:57 master-qrunner.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 14114 Feb 5 11:47 sitelist.cfg
The alias exists nowhere else on this box.
Postfix is set to run as the user postfix.
Does anyone have a clue? Cookies for solutions-- it's approaching
crunch time!
