Hey everyone.
I just joined the list and this is my first post, so I apologize if it's out of sync with what's going on.
I've been running Mailman happily on our server (mac os x server on an xserve) for months. But suddenly today things have gone awry. Specifically, I'm now getting this error when I try to post to a list:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post staff"
(reason: 2)
(expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)----- Transcript of session follows ----- 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 "daemon". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=daemon'.
Like I said, I've been running mailman for several months without problems, and am very surprised to get this message. Yesterday I made a minor change to our sendmail configuration (activated a feature), so I'm wondering if something hasn't changed in sendmail? I understand I can rerun the configuration, as it says, but I'd prefer to "tweak the mail server" back to however it was before (de-activating the feature didn't seem to help). I don't believe the change I made should have affected who sendmail runs scripts as, all I did was activate FEATURE(`relay_mail_from'), but here I am with a problem.
Any help would be appreciated, I've got several live, active lists that are down as a result of this (!)
