<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>
|
|
|
|
|
