i went now through the pita to setup a mailman test installation on
3.8 in order to verify if it still breaks because of the incorrect
--with-mail-gid configure setting and if it still needs to be
addressed for 3.8 mailman-postfix flavors.
so here is what i did:
$ cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman/
$ FLAVOR=postfix make
...
# FLAVOR=postfix make install
after setting up postfix and mailman (the way it's outlined in
/usr/local/share/doc/mailman/README.OpenBSD [what a time saving doc!!!
thx to all of you who wrote this wonderful piece of doc!]) i posted
something to a freshly created test mailing list where it then bounces
back with:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2:
"/usr/local/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test". Command output: Group
mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as
group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "_mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
"nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=_mailman'.
after doing exactly that by applying the attached patch everything
works as expected. it would be great if you could verify that and
apply the attached patch!
thx for the excellent work on the port so far,
tamer.
