Hi everyone, Please forgive the newbieness of this question- I'm setting up mailman, but apparently it wants Exim to be running as daemon or some other user (not as exim) for security purposes. When I try to post to new lists I get this error: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as one of the following groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon], but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group: "exim". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as one of these groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody, daemon], I've poked around google a while for this but so far all I've come up with is that I need to either recompile mailman with exim as the user it expects, or run exim as an alternate user. I'm thinking the latter would be easiest, but when I sudo to some other user and try to run Exim as someone else, I'm getting access denied- it seems Exim only wants to run as Exim. I checked /etc/exim/exim.conf but couldn't track down the user parameter for this. Any hints? Thanks in advance, Scott VanDusen Tokyo
