I'm sure this is a very dumb question, because I have seen several
posts about it, all of which imply that there is some simple solution.

I am trying to use spamassassin by running everything through
/etc/procmail, and I get the following in /var/log/procmail:

"Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be
executed as one of the following groups:
[mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon],
but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group: "baron".
Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as one of these groups:
[mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon],"

The dumb question is: "What is the 'mail server'?" I thought it was
sendmail, but I have no idea where "baron" comes from. baron is just a
user on the system. The various IDs for mailman are set to sjdm.org in
the configuration file. I installed it as "root" from a Fedora RPM,
and the name "baron" had no part of that. So far as I can tell,
NOTHING in this system is owned by "baron" except my own account
(which is, however, included in several groups).
