<p>Q: Mailman does not work with Postfix, complaining about GID mismatch<br>
|
2003-07-16 20:59:33 +02:00

A: Mailman uses a setgid wrapper that is designed to be used in system-wide
|
|
|
|
|
|
aliases file so that rest of mailman's mail handling processes will run
|
|
|
|
|
|
with proper uid/gid. Postfix has an ability to run a command specified in
|
|
|
|
|
|
an alias as owner of that alias, thus mailman's wrapper is not needed here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best method to invoke mailman's mail handling via aliases is to use
|
|
|
|
|
|
separate alias file especially for mailman, and made it owned by mailman
|
2002-09-16 19:13:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
and group mailman. Like:<br>
|
2003-07-16 20:59:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/aliases<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure that /var/mailman/aliases.db is owned by mailman user (this
|
2002-12-29 19:23:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
may be done by executing postalias as mailman userid).<br>
|
2003-07-16 20:59:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, instead of using mailman-suggested aliases entries with wrapper,
|
2002-12-29 19:23:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
use the following:<br>
|
2003-07-16 20:59:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|

|
instead of<br>

<h4>The above tip works with Mailman 2.0; Mailman 2.1 has adopted something
|
|
|
|
|
|
very similar so that no workaround is necessary. See the README.POSTFIX file

included with Mailman-2.1.<2E></h4>
