OK, it wants the GIDs (Group of IDs) under which sendmail (or other
MTA) and apache (or other web server) are running. Sendmail usually runs
with group set to mail, so my /etc/group says mail is 12 (this is RH
6.2). Now for apache look at the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for the:
User nobody
line. then look at /etc/group for that one, 99 in my case. So you config
mailman with
./configure --mail-gid=12 --cgi-gid=99
(I think that's right but look at the install file for the exact working,
it's been a while).
This is the one part of mailman that is a real PITA, after this it gets
much better.
Oh, as for your mail bouncing, have you added the lines to /etc/aliases
and run newaliases ?
