Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-7

After installing mailman package on a Debian Sarge 3.1 (completely up-to-date to my local mirror), I've configured a few mailing lists and tried to test them. On mailman everything looks fine, but when I send any e-mail to those lists, exim4-daemon-light (version 4.44-2) gives me the following error on /var/log/exim4/rejectlog:

Then I receive an e-mail, with the bounce:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post cpad
    generated by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    local delivery failed

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post cpad
       generated by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "daemon", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "Debian-exim".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group "daemon", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=Debian-exim'.

<snip from here to the end of e-mail>

AS you may see, the mailman wasn't compiled to be used against exim4. At least, not on my configuration (usually the most Debian-like I can do, always).

Am I missing something, or this is some bug on this package? It really should be compiled to be used with exim4 gid (which is Debian-exim, not daemon neither mail).

Any other info that may be useful:

$ uname -a
Linux marfim 2.6.9-CPAD #1 SMP Tue Dec 21 17:22:47 BRST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

$ dpkg -s mailman | grep ^Version
Version: 2.1.5-7

$ dpkg -s exim4-daemon-light | grep ^Version
Version: 4.44-2

$ dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-20

$ dpkg -s python | grep ^Version
Version: 2.3.5-1

I'm really sorry if this is my mistake, but I didn't find any good information about that (except for those one telling me to recompile Mailman, which I don't want to do).

Kind regards,
