The fact that these are in RawHide means they are beta (it's working well for me though). Any and all reported issues should be reported to bugzilla.redhat.com.
If uses sendmail as the MTA by default, but it's pretty easy to edit the post-install scripts to use postfix files instead of sendmail. If you get the source RPM, you can set the mailgroup and mailgid variables in the spec file to be whatever you want. By default it's a group of groups/gids: mail; nobody; mailman. The comment says postfix is run as nobody, but my 1.7 RPM Postfix RPM from RedHat 7.3 runs as postfix. Not sure if they maybe changed they in 8.0 or somewhere in Rawhide. I didn't notice or change these variables in my installation, and it hasn't been a problem for me so far.

Apparently the RPM was set expect Postfix MTA to run as mail. I'm guessing
the RedHat standard is to run MTA as nobody. I do appreciate the efforts of
the person who put the rpm out. I've got the list back up on another RedHat
7.x box with Redhat distro Mailman RPM 2.0x. I'm thinking I'll wait until an
official RPM for the RedHat distro is available prior to upgrading. As much
as I love working with Linux, I have too many other time demands to get too
buried in installing custom from source.
Thanks,
David

I'm almost at a point where I've either got to scrap mailman completely and revert to an earlier rpm or install clean from source. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If you're banging your head against the wall, uninstall the rpm and install mailman from source (carefully reading the README, INSTALL, and UPGRADING files).Mailman is extremely easy to install from source, yet somewhat difficult to package properly as an rpm that will work with different MTA's out of the box (due to the security constraints of the few mailman binaries). If you insist on having an rpm, you should at the very least pull down the source rpm from your distro and then look at tweaking it as necessary for your MTA. Unless you really like messing around with spec files and building rpms, I'd just build from source. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/jgeorgeson%40unboundtech.com
