>Description:
After the update from 2.1.14_1 to 2.1.14_3 the mailing lists doesn't work anymore. A mail to the listaddress bounces with:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "@MAIL_GROUP@", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailnull". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "@MAIL_GROUP@", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailnull'.
The webinterface is broken too:
Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "@CGI_GROUP@", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "www". Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "@CGI_GROUP@", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=www'.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
root@kirk:/usr/ports/mail/mailman> grep -r MAIL_GROUP *
[...]
work/mailman-2.1.14/src/Makefile.in:MAIL_GROUP= @MAIL_GROUP@
[...]
work/mailman-2.1.14/src/Makefile:MAIL_GROUP= @MAIL_GROUP@
root@kirk:/usr/ports/mail/mailman> grep -r CGI_GROUP *
[...]
work/mailman-2.1.14/src/Makefile.in:CGI_GROUP= @CGI_GROUP@
[...]
work/mailman-2.1.14/src/Makefile:CGI_GROUP= @CGI_GROUP@
I replaced there @MAIL_GROUP@ manualy with mailnull and @CGI_GROUP@ with www. That dirty hack fixed the problem for me.
