[Mailman-Users] Problem with Postfix

[Geoffrey King]

The cgi's are working fine.

I've checked the main.cf and it reads as follows.

default_privs = nobody

so.. I reran configure with the --with-mail-gid=nobody But it complained
that nobody is not a group.
Indeed it isn't. The group that servers that funcion on SuSE is 'nogroup'. I
tried that too.
Anyways, postfix still complains as before regardless.

Did you try:

'configure --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-mail-gid=nobody

This is the typical setup on FreeBSD.

You can find the mail-gid in your /etc/postfix/main.cf  -- look for:

     default_privs = nobody

You can find your cgi-gid in /etc/apache/httpd.conf -- look for:

    User nobody
    Group nobody

Use the Group entry of course.  On many Linux installations, Apache is set
up with group "nogroup" and postfix uses group "nobody".  In this case:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-cgi-gid=nogroup --with-mail-g
id=nobody
make all
postfix stop
make install
postfix start
