Description ./SuperbepS 2004-06-11 07:26:28 UTC
If a user install and configure mailman correctly but uses courier MTA, mailman does not work.
In the mail log there is this error:
[Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but_the system's mail server executed the mail script as_group "mail".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the_script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, _providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mail'

This is because courier tries to execute the script with the mail GID, the only solution i found was changing the mail gid in mailman ebuild.
It could be useful that the ebuild would detect courier and change the gid in the proper way.
Regards

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install courier MTA	
2. Install Mailman
3. Configure a Mailing List
