If you emerge mailman, it will refuse to accept mail for the list. After 4 to 7 days all mails bounce to the sender with the following error: 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 "nofiles". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nofiles'. I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge Mailman 2. Set up a mailing list 3. Send a message to the list. It will bounce. Actual Results: After 4 to 7 days all mails bounce to the sender with the following error: 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 "nofiles". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=nofiles'. I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long. Expected Results: Accepted the post and sent it to subscribed users. I think the fix is to add --with-mail-gid=nofiles to the ebuild. Right now it has econf \ --prefix=${INSTALLDIR} \ --with-mail-gid=${MAILGID} \ --with-cgi-gid=${APACHEGID} Where does MAILGID come from? If it's a setting, can that setting be explained in the Mailman ebuild so others aren't trapped like this?
