Hi All,

I just installed Sarge with exim4 and mailman and I am having a devil of 
time tryint to make them work togeather.  I keep getting bounce notices 
that say:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman
    generated by mailman at adoption.com
    local delivery failed

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman
       generated by mailman at adoption.com ------

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group "daemon", but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "Debian-exim".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group "daemon", or re-run configure, 
providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=Debian-exim'.

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------


What is the correct Debian way to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Sean
