Okay, let's leave postfix alone :-) > The thing that must be true is that whatever group postfix uses to > execute the pipe to the wrapper must be the same as the > --with-mail-gid= setting given to configure. I originally compiled it with -mail-gid=mailmal (the first value in the default list). > The same is true of the group that the web server uses to execute the > cgi-bin wrappers and the --with-cgi-gid= given to configure. I created a group www -- which included apache, mailman, and myself -- and set -cgi-gid=www. The apache would not run the mailman/create, as it was complaining that it could not run as www (even though apache was included in wwww). So I set -cgi-gid=mailman and set user and group in apache to mailman. I don't know what was wrong there, but it looks like I am having a similar issue here. > See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node7.html I remember that web page. I re-ran configure several times by now. Do I also need to run make and make install after that to make changes persist in /usr/local/mailman? I haven't done that, 'cause I am afraid that the changes that I made to various files would be overwritten. Please, let me know what the reality on this is. I am quite happy to have mail-gid=mailman and cgi-gid=apache, if I could make it work that way. Thank you for your support!
