mailman can't send out mails

[matz]

After I installed mailman, I was facing the problem “Failure_to_exec_mailman_wrapper. WANTED_gid_110,_GOT_gid_101. (Reconfigure_to_take_101?)/did_0+0+1/"
This was easy fixed with the description in the FAQ for mailman: http://faq.swsoft.com/article_61_942_en.html
Now it is no problem to add and administrate mailing list via the mailman web front-end or the PLESK user Panel.

But when list members send an email to the list email address the email will not be send to all the other list members.
I found follow log entry in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog:

Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail-queue: dwlib[23912]: mail: all addreses are uncheckable - need to skip scanning (by deny mode)
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail-queue: dwlib[23912]: scan: the message(drweb.tmp.O20TCj) sent by [email protected] to [email protected] should be passed without checks, because contains uncheckable addresses
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.496852 new msg 187584
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.496957 info msg 187584: bytes 593 from <[email protected]> qp 23913 uid 2020
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.653298 starting delivery 118: msg 187584 to local [email protected]
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.653386 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
Nov 19 13:47:04 server Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 12.
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.660452 delivery 118: success: Failure_to_exec_script._WANTED_gid_67,_GOT_gid_12./Failed_to_start_/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman./did_0+0+1/
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.660755 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
Nov 19 13:47:04 server qmail: 1132379224.660797 end msg 187584

Now it looks like that the mail-wrapper has a group id problem with the mail group (gid_12)

Does any one have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

There's another thread about this problem, one of the Plesk support people posted a link to a KB article/solution.

http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=122006&highlight=GOTgid101#post122006

If your mchk utility gives a segfault, see the post further down about a solution without requiring the use of mchk...

Hallo ShadowMan

I saw this thread already. My mchk utility is working fine but don’t solve my problem.
I also hat the problem with the gid for popuser and solve it already.
It was basically when a list member sends an email to the list and mailman can not receive the email regarding the wrong gid for the popuser.

Now it looks like that after mailman receive an email he can not start the mail wrapper to send the emails to the mail list members regarding gid’s 67 and 12.
Currently I don’t know if some have the wrong gid or the mail wrapper expect the wrong gid. Also I don’t have any idea how to fix it.

Best regards,
Matz

Are you on FreeBSD? If so, did you try the instructions posted in that thread by DCNet_James (almost at bottom of first page)?

 

[matz]

No, I'm using SuSE 9.3

*sigh*

Today I updated the mailman stuff in Plesk 7.5.4 from 31.3.06. I still got this problem. My mail.err (suse 9.3) shows the same as above:

Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 12.

Before this update I guess back in the beginning of the year I already puzzled out about the other things described here but that didn't work for me as well. There are different solutions then the "official KB one" - Any idea what I should try / do now - if possible without breaking my complete mailsystem?

Hello,

same problem. Suse9.3

Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 110, GOT gid 104.

I make all Steps from the PLESK Solution :http://faq.swsoft.com/article_61_942_en.html

Now I have:

Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 12.

.

What can I try now?

Make sure mm_wrapper permissions look like this:

-r-xr-sr-x 1 root mailman 7112 Mar 21 15:56 mm_wrapper*


Helped in my case.

I changed my group for that file from "mail" (GID 12) to "mailman" (GID 67) but now the error log tells me:

Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 67, GOT gid 110.

110 is popuser

lol

-> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root mailman 5020 Mar 21 16:08 /var/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper

Mind the difference between

-r-xr-xr-x

and

-r-xr-sr-x

 

[Spacey@]

!
Ehrm... that changed somehow! I checked that first, here's my first ls -la result:

-r-xr-sr-x 1 root mail 5020 Mar 21 16:08 /var/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper

There it was O.K.... but after chown'ing it - it changed?! wtf?! lol

Changed it - looks like working... will check it deeper next few mins...

Looks great so far! Tested it with a small list of 3 own adresses and working. The only baddy atm are the broken images / icons on the web-interface. Will look about that now!

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

For the broken image problem have a look at this post:

[Spacey@]

Yep - that helped as well. Again - Thanks a lot - very much! Got MailMan 2.1.5 now running! Cheers!
