The way to configure Mailman/Exim integration is discussed at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.019.htp> which contains a link to <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html>. >Now I get complaints like this: >"Group mismatch error.

I don't know if you're talking about MAILMAN_GROUP in mm_cfg.py (which you shouldn't change from the default) or MAILMAN_GROUP in your Exim configuration or some Debian magic MAILMAN_GROUP to adjust the group expected by the wrapper. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp> for a better understanding of group mismatch errors. >I also changed >MTA = 'postfix' to MTA = None, but I think this shouldn't have effect on this >issue. Correct. If the MAILMAN_GROUP=daemon you refer to above is in your Exim configuration, that should be what you need, if it is properly referenced by a 'group =' in your mailman transport, but in your case you seem to be using aliases for mailman instead of a mailman router and mailman transport, so the 'group = MAILMAN_GROUP' would be in the address_pipe transport. However, I recommend you configure exim per <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html> and do away with mailman aliases altogether. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
