<p>Q: Mailman does not work with Postfix, complaining about GID mismatch<br>
|
2002-09-16 19:02:45 +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
|
|
|
|
|
and group mailman. Like:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<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 may
|
|
|
|
|
be done by executing postalias as mailman userid).<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
Next, instead of using mailman-suggested aliases entries with wrapper, use
|
|
|
|
|
the following:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
instead of<br>

|
|
|
|
|
mailinglist-admin: /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mailinglist<br>

|
|
|
mailinglist-request: /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mailinglist<br>
|
|
|
|
|
...<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
use<br>
|
|
|
|
|
mailinglist: /var/mailman/scripts/post mailinglist<br>
|
|
|
