Check that first (run mailman/bin/check_perms). in order to restore normal operation, perhaps something must be done to this group besides simply creating it. Group ID always exist because they're just numbers, all the /etc/groups file does is map the ID to a name. I actually suspect that something else is going on... do you see "group mismatch" errors in the mailman logs or in bounce messages?

What about the `mailman` user. Is there one and is it's group the `mailman` group. Beyond that, what does Mailman's `bin/check_perms` show? What happens to mail to Mailman. Is it queued somewhere in one of Mailman's qfiles/*/ queues? What's in Mailman's logs? -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
