$prefix/mail/mailman It is a compiled binary wrapper (source is src/mail-wrapper.c in the distribution) that ultimately calls one of the Python scripts in the scripts/ directory (e.g. scripts/post) to handle a message to Mailman. It is a compiled binary because it needs to be SETGID and SETGID isn't honored on script files. It's sole purpose is to be SETGID and set the effective group for the process to Mailman's group, and to check that it is invoked from the expected invoking group to prevent just anyone from running it. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> for more on this. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
