Please search the archives again using the terms "wanted got reconfigure" and you'll see plenty of solutions. check: http://search.python.org (check mailing list archives only) http://www.list.org/faq.html http://www.list.org/install-config.html for more info. > whenever i send a post to test, i get the following errors: > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2: > "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test".

First of all, I don't believe that --with-gid is an option. So sayeth "grep -e '--with-gid' configure" Secondly, It's asking you to reconfigure it --with-mail-gid=65534. You aren't specifying "--with-mail-gid" at all. If this option is not specified configure is supposed to pick whichever is specified first of the following gid's: "other, mail, daemon" do any of these match gid 65534 on your system? It looks as though Postfix thinks one of them does. Ternary, Once you get this fixed you'll probably have problems accessing the web interfaces because you've specified "--with-cgi-gid=mail". This is basically telling configure that your web server runs as gid mail. Unless you've made some changes it shouldn't be. By default configure is supposed to look for www, www-data, or nobody as the gid to run the web scripts as, choosing whichever it finds first. Make sure that your installation of Apache is using one of these group names or specify the correct one. I had to use "--with-cgi-gid=apache" to get mine to work.
