hi all.

i have mailman 2.0.13 installed - for a year or so... running fine - bunch
of users. upgraded sendmail. now mailman doesn't process mail because the
sendmail's group isn't mail anymore...
which file should i edit in the mailman tree to make it recognize the
smmsp group for the wrapper? don't want to reinstall mailman...



You problem is that the mail-gid is compiled into a C program which is then installed as $prefix/mail/wrapper.


Normal advice is to rerun the Mailman ./configure with the --with-mail-gid= option set to the new value and then re-run make install as if doing a normal Mailman upgrade. It is a good idea to do a backup and shutdown you MTA and Mailman qrunner etc while the upgrade is being done.

If you are a confident hacker you could just try:

1. rerun the Mailman ./configure with the --with-mail-gid= option set to the new value

2. run make in just the Mailman $build/src directory

3. replace $prefix/mail/wrapper with the $build/src/wrapper file just generated by step (2)

Same caveats about backup and shutdowns apply.

thanks...
