When emerging mailman the default group is set to mailman; however, postfix expects it to run as nobody. When Mailman gate_news command is run the following is reported (note, the nntp server does not require a password): Output from command /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib64/mailman/cron/gate_news .. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 293, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib64/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 273, in main process_lists(lock) File "/usr/lib64/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 214, in process_lists conn, first, last = open_newsgroup(mlist) File "/usr/lib64/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 103, in open_newsgroup password=mm_cfg.NNTP_PASSWORD) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 115, in __init__ self.welcome = self.getresp() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 214, in getresp resp = self.getline() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/nntplib.py", line 206, in getline if not line: raise EOFError EOFError Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge mailman and create test list 2. Send mail to test list 3. Set list to gate news Expected Results: Everything working :)
