Sorry. I meant to include the error message. Here it is:
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'.

Have you done a recent fresh install on debian? I think if all you've
done is to upgrade the problem won't occur.

Yes, I agree. Coordination between the packages.

Fine. What do I change?
