Hi,
I use exim4 with mailman. Mailman requires pipes in the /etc/aliases to
work properly. One of the things that you can set on the exim
configuration file is what user and group to run the piped programs.
Here is what I use on my exim4 configuration file:
system_aliases:
debug_print = "R: system_aliases for [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = list
group = mail
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
Notice the lines "user = list" "group= mail" that is where I set the
user and group to run the piped programs.
Please let me kno if this helped you with your problem.
Bye
Cesar Mendoza
