[Mailman-Users] Hi, how to re-configure mailman to mail-gid ...

[TRON478]

Hi,

thank you. I have solved it:

* First i deleted the mailman dir at /usr/local/mailman with rm -R /usr/...
* Then i create it again as described in the mailman manual
* after this i configured the mailman source with the
"--with-mail-gid=nobody" (is this not an security hole? Why NOBODY?)
* then i installed it again with make install
* and works ...

:)

but why nobody??

thanks
yavuz
