<h4>The following was posted on the Postfix mailing list on

Postfix FAQ.</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Q: Mailman does not work with Postfix, complaining about GID
|
|
|
|
|
|
mismatch<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
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>

<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
