[Nix-dev] nix-commits mailing list is in trouble

Hi,

I just received the following e-mail after committing to nixpkgs:

  <nix-commits at cs.uu.nl>: Command died with status 2: "/var/mailman/mail/mailman
      post nix-commits". Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected
      the mail wrapper script to be executed as one of the following groups:
      [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody], but the system's mail server executed the
      mail script as group: "ournobody". Try tweaking the mail server to run the
      script as one of these groups: [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody], or re-run
      configure providing the command line option: '--with-mail-gid=ournobody'.

This looks like a problem in the configuration.

Take care,
Peter
