Status = 2 is a group mismatch error as you apparently discovered. > After consulting Google, I got advised to run a test: > > root@lists:/home/wash# /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post > Group mismatch error.

It would be expected to produce a group mismatch because you are running the wrapper as root:root and not as the user:group that Exim runs it as. Also, even in Debian/Ubuntu, the wrapper is normally named mailman/mail/mailman, not mailman/mail/wrapper, so I'm not sure what's going on here. As far as how to fix it, this is really a Debian/Ubuntu question. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>. That said, there are a couple of things going on here: It appears from your above test that the expected group is 'daemon'. This is strange as in Debian/Ubuntu , it is normally 'list' which is why in your Exim config you have MM_GID=list. You could try MM_GID=daemon to fix this. The Debian/Ubuntu package has patches to avoid the group mismatch test if the real gid of the caller is < 100 or = 65534. My recomendation, especially if you want help from this list is to junk the Ubuntu package and install from source. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
