Hi,

Just for the record how I solved this.

PerlStalker on IRC was so kind to point me to "man dot-courier". A useful read. So I created normal users in my mysql database and added .courier, .courier-admin, .courier-bounces, etc. to his home directory. Each containing a line like "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post speakers."

At least I got rid of the annoying 550 User unknown then ;) Next problem was that the mailman script was called with the wrong gid. I changed the gid manually in the database for that particular user.

Question: Is there another way to tell Courier to run scripts with another gid?

After that I just had to fix the MX entry which was pointing to an IP address which is wrong as I read here:

mailman is up and running. at last! ;)

Thanks,

David
