Description:

Ok I posted this in the Forum but was asked to open a bug report.

After I updated and restarted my server postfix can't give mails to mailman instead mailman throws this error:

Command died with
status 2: "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post admins". Command output:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be
executed as group "80", but the system's mail server executed the mail
script as group "mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script
as group "80", or re-run configure, providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=mailman'.

But the mailman group has ID 80:

grep mailman /etc/group
mailman:x:80:

and all the alias tables and transport maps from mailman are owned by the mailman group so postfix is running the wrapper script as the mailman group.

ls -l /var/lib/mailman/data/

So the latest version of mailman (2.1.14-4) did not fix this issue?

No. I get the same error with 2.1.14-3
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Monday, 27 February 2012, 10:54 GMT
Might be fixed now.
