Ted,
Thanks for your reply. I got it working.
I got impatient and edited the Makefile (got that from one of your earlier
suggestions). I gave Mailman the same group ID as nobody. I did:
make deinstall
make
make clean
make reinstall
This fixed my gid problems.
So, I tested it by sending mail from another box. It made it past the gid
errors, but it locked me in a loop of some sort. /var/log/maillog kept
repeating:
Jan 6 18:03:00 fbsd postfix/postdrop[64087]: warning: mail_queue_enter:
create file maildrop/634015.64087: Permission denied.
A long story short, I ended up adding postfix to the maildrop group. I can
now join a list and send mail to it. I have a little more tweaking and I
think I'll be satisfied.
Would adding postfix to the maildrop group make anything less secure?
Thanks
Darren
