Folks:
I've just 'completed' (hmmm) an installation of mailman with Exim 4.1 on
MacOS X Server 10.2.3 and although mailman is configured and runs ok, mail
messages are not getting from exim into Mailman.
The error message(s) I get in Exim are:
2003-01-12 23:41:13 H8MK2L-0004F3-00 unable to set gid=1025 or uid=1027
(euid=25): local delivery to test-list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
transport=mailman_transport
2003-01-12 23:41:13 H8MK2L-0004F3-00 failed to read delivery status for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from delivery subprocess
The gid and uid numbers are the mailman group and user respectively.
Mailman is installed in a virtual host configuration with a separate copy of
Mailman for each domain within the Mailman user directory, e.g.:
/Users/mailman/neonnumbers.com contains the Mailman installation for
neonnumbers.com
/Users/mailman/other-domain.com contains the Mailman installation for
other-domain.com
Etc
The config for Exim is from the 'how-to' docs and is a router as follows:
### Router forMailman mail lists ###
mailman_router:
driver = accept
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}/lists/$local_part/config.pck
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = mailman_transport
Which I think is working fine. The problem seems to be in the transport
configuration:
## Transport for Mailman ####
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}/mail/mailman \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME/${domain}
user = MAILMAN_USER
group = MAILMAN_GROUP
(where MAILMAN_HOME is /User/mailman and the MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP
are 'mailman')
I have checked all the configuration with respect to Mailman and all seems
fine (e.g. Check_perms reports all is well).
This looks like it's a permissions thing either in mailman or Exim, but I'm
a bit stumped thus far - any help or guidance appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
..Iain
