<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test". Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "nogroup". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nogroup'.
This has probably been answered before, but the only answer I could find in the archives related to changing the --with-mail-gid=nogroup in the configure script. This only creates more problems for me, so I'd like to change Postfix to run the wrapper as gid mailman. However, I can't find how to do this. I've followed all the instructions in INSTALL, README and README.POSTFIX, but I'm obviously still missing something.
What are the perms on /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman? Postfix should be executing the script as whatever group the wrapper has.
Your interpretation is not quite correct.
When it is run, and as a security precaution, the mailman wrapper checks the group of the process which is executing it is what it expects and then and only then runs the mail delivery script with the mailman gid. This expected gid is compiled into the mailman wrapper as the value of --with-mail-gid from ./configure.
The issue is not what gid the wrapper should run the Mailman mail delivery script as but what gid the wrapper expects the process running it to have.
The error message is saying that it is being run with the gid nogroup when it was told to expect to be run by a process with the gid mailman. If you want to stick with that then Postfix, repeat Postfix, has to execute with the gid mailman. Which may or may not be what you want.
