Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but it appears that mailman
(ports/mail/mailman) is being installed with the wrong GID.
The error is:
Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 1, GOT gid 26. (Reconfigure to
take 26?)
which matches the README troubleshooting note:
Problem: I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying,
"unknown mailer error".
Solution: The likely problem is that you are using the wrong GID or
UID for mail. Check your syslog. If you see, for
example, a line like:
Attempt to exec script with invalid gid 51, expected 99
You need to reinstall Mailman, and specify $MAIL_GID to
be 51, as described in the installation
instructions. see notes on Postfix below, as by default
it will create these problems on installation.
I see I can set MAIL_GID in the Makefile to change it, but shouldn't
the default work? (You don't expect users to think, do you? :)
(4.4-STABLE as of today)
Thanks!
