RE: [Mailman-Users] Almost there

Holy crap, I figured it out. Amazing. Okay, here's the deal related to Exim and Mailman. Default install of Redhat 7.1 comes with sendmail. We all know that. But, I didn't like the manual steps required to create a list using sendmail. So, I switched my MTA to Exim. After I got Exim working

You are NOT going to believe this one. I'm still not quite sure how this happened... I *looked* for a gid of 401 ... and I looked at all the users the system would list... No matter what I did, I couldn't get the alias user to show up at all, short of a sledgehammer. qmail has a user named alia

Hi Sharon, To the best of my knowledge, Mailman is a Linux program. That means your operating system has to be Linux, or at least based upon Linux, or at least be able to pass for Linux in a dark alley on a moonless night. It can/might run under MacOS X because if you look under the hood of X,

Short answer: I don't think it's a Mailman issue, per se. I think you've still got Qmail configuration problems. I don't know how much you know about Unix processes, user ids, and group ids, but an excellent reference on the subject (and really almost /all/ things *nix) is W. Richard Stevens' "
