Ooops - sent this to Dan instead of the list... I run mailman with Postfix. Have MTA='Postfix' and have run check_perm a number of times, with -f How do I tweak the mail server (a.k..a Postfix) to run the script as group mail? If you installed Mailman from source, it's usually much easier to follow the other suggested fix: rerun configure the --with-mail- gid=mailman option. If you installed from a package that might be more difficult. Please tell us what version of Mailman you're using and how it was installed. Dan Installed package via X (Gnome). Version 2.1.9. Since I'm not a regular Un*x administrator (fix some simple mail problem once a month) I tend to like GUI over CMD ;-) Todd, my /usr/lib/mailman/subdir-files all have mail as GUID. Isn't that suppose to mean mail client (Postfix)? Silly question, is the mail wrapper the /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman file?

Since I'm not a regular Un*x administrator (fix some simple mail problem once a month) I tend to like GUI over CMD ;-) Fair enough. Though mailman provides no GUI method of installing, so any such method that is used would have to be provided by your distro and you'd likely have to ask them for help if it fails (or hope that someone here uses the same distro and can tell you how to get it working). Todd, my /usr/lib/mailman/subdir-files all have mail as GUID. Isn't that suppose to mean mail client (Postfix)? Silly question, is the mail wrapper the /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman file? Yeah, that's the wrapper script. I'm not entirely sure how or if postfix checks the permissions and ownership of the wrapper. The perms/ownership I think are most important to postfix are those of the alias file. Aliases is root mail and aliases.db is mail mail That seems like the right setup. What does your Postfix alias_maps setting say? Is there a separate entry for the mailman aliases there? Isn't group mailman used at all? The default if you install mailman from source is to use group mailman. I know that Debian uses group mail in their packages. I'm not sure what other distros use group mail. In any event, that's a choice made by the folks that package mailman for your system. You'll have to ask whomever that is for specific advice on getting the Postfix integration working with the setup they've provided you. I've installed mailman from source and from Red Hat and Fedora packages and not had much trouble getting that integration working smoothly.

Re: [Mailman-Users] FW: Wrong group
Ralph, Also, you should check out the Mailman install manual, at least the section on integrating Postfix. http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html And of course, peruse the Mailman FAQ if you haven't already done so. If the package you are using has omitted some of these steps you may need to finish them. And file a bug/feature request with the packager to see if they can do this automatically in the future. -- ToddOpenPGP - KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp == A No uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a Yes merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mohandas Gandhi pgpzkewLlPLdN.pgp Description: PGP signature -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

They should all be GID = the group of the 'mailman' user, which is probably 'mailman' judging from the group mismatch error you reported. Then, the question is why doesn't bin/check_perms -f fix it?

Kelly Jones wrote: I'm subscribed to a mailman mailing list. I want to receive all emails on the list *except those* matching a given topic or topics. How do I do this? You have to subscribe to every topic except the ones you don't want, and also elect to receive messages that don't match any topic. This may or may not be what you want because a message can match more than one topic, and if one of those is one you want to exclude and another isn't, you'll receive the post. If a new topic is created, I want to be subscribed to it by default, but have the option of excluding it as well. It doesn't work that way. You have to somehow become aware that there is a new topic and subscribe to it. In order to get what you want, you'd have to implement a 'topics to avoid' option. There currently is no such option. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
