Exim-4.1 and Mailman Error

Post #1 of 3 (432 views)

Hello Exim+Mailman experts,

I've checked this list's archives, read the Install notes but Mailman is giving me
issues still.

I am imagining this could be an Exim issue, though it should really be my blindness.
I've spent whole day searching the web for a clue with no success.

When I post to a list I get the error:

pipe to |/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post elections-2002
generated by elections-2002@wananchi.com
local delivery failed

I have run a debug but really can't see why, so I've opted to seek your help.

Replying to my own posting to save my face, I did get the problem. I was stupid enough
not to read through my notes to realize that I needed
MAILMAN_GID=mail
instead of MAILMAN_GID=mailman.

Its okay fellows. Sorry for wasting yout valuable time.

[I am entitled to a time slot though ;-)]

Did you look at the mailman logs? It looks like mailman is rejecting the
post for some reason-- perhaps exim doesn't have execute permissions to
/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper OR (I think this is the error I got once
when compiling with the wrong gid in --with-mail-gid= on compiling mailman.
