I ftp'd the mailmanctl file from the 2.1b4 server to the server with 2.1.1 
installed, ran the mailman.sh start script and everything (appears, so far) 
to be working fine.  Just to verify that it wasn't a portupgrade issue, I 
pkg_delete'd mailman and built a fresh install; I got the same error on 
starting mailmanctl with the file from 2.1.1.

Looks like 2.1.1 has some issues, has anyone gotten it to run out-of-the-box 
from ports??

Hi, Tim

From /usr/local/share/doc/mailman/NEWS:

o There is now a `site list' which is a mailing list that must
  be created first, and from which all password reminders
  appear to come from.  It is recommended that this list be
  called [EMAIL PROTECTED].
After creating the above list, mailmanctl worked!

upgrade of Mailman from ports fails: unable to set GID

2003-02-18 Thread Per olof Ljungmark
Have Mailman/Postfix install and just tried to update from 2.1 to 2.1.1 
via ports. However, I can't set the variable --with-mail-gid=nobody no 
matter how I try, and this makes the mailwrapper fail as it tries to 
execute under the wrong GID.
What am I doing wrong?

Building and installing Mailman as a normal app outside the ports system 
with --with-mail-gid=nobody works fine.

cheers,

/per olof
