I'm sure folks have seen this (many times) already, so
thanks for the help up front.
So I'm trying to get mailman to run on FC3, and I am
running into the following problem:

Since I installed mailman from the RPM, I didn't
configure it. Further, sendmail.8.13.1 has a config
option that looks like
# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
# O DefaultUser=mailnull
If you set DefaultUser to something else, everything else
goes south...
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks, and have a safe and happy new year,
Dave
