The GID being mentioned is the Group ID of the MTA (in this case 100) - not the GID of the Mailman user. The GID of the MTA user is needed, as it is the MTA user that is actually going to run the Mailman wrapper program (the program that is complaining). As a security precaution only root, mailman, and the MTA can run the wrapper program. > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2: > "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman".
