[afnog] Group Mismatch Error

["Mensah K. Agbessitse" <mensahk at ghana.com>]

Hello All,

I am trying to build mailman 2.1.2 on a freebsd 4.5 which is running exim
4.20.

Whenever I built the mailman with CONFIG1 it gives me ERROR1 when checking
with the command this command: /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman.
It is the same with CONFIG2 which gives also ERROR2 and this keep
alternating. I was getting the same problem on Linux 7.2 and when I ran
CONFIG2 then everything is fine and the list server is working fine.


CONFIG1:



$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-username=manmail --with-grou
pname=manmail --with-mail-gid=exim --with-cgi-gid=exim

ERROR1:    Jul 29 14:36:42 list Mailman mail-wrapper: Group mismatch error.
Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "manmail",
but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "exim".  Try
tweaking the mail server to run the script as group manmail", or re-run
configure,  providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=exim'.

CONFIG2:



$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-username=manmail --with-grou
pname=manmail --with-mail-gid=exim --with-cgi-gid=mailman

ERROR2:    Jul 29 15:46:51 list Mailman mail-wrapper: Group mismatch error.
Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "exim", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "manmail".  Try
tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "exim", or re-run
configure,  providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=manmail'

Thank You.

Bruno.
