The answer is here:
Well, your problem is that your mail server is running as a certian user (Debian-exim), which means that it has that users permissions. Your mail server is trying to start another script (the mailman script in question) which needs to be run as a different user (daemon). You can either:Try tweaking the mail server to run thePlease note that I am a relatively new user to linux. I am not a programmer or trained systems expert, so simple explanations would be appreciated.
script as group "daemon", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=Debian-exim'.
1. modify what user your mail server runs as
2. modify what user mailman runs as
3. try to get your mail server to run the script as the mailman user
I'm not an exim admin so I can't help you with options 1 or 3. I run postfix on my server.
If you want to use option 2, as suggested by the error message above you will need to reinstall mailman. When you install mailman, you run configure with the --with-mail-gid=Debian-exim.
ie:
./configure --with-mail-gid=Debian-exim
the problem with this is that under debian, when you install, it installs without options. So, how do I change the mail-gid that mailman uses?
It will then configure mailman to be run as the user your mailer wants to use to run the script.
