Tried that but still the same error. I raised the debug-level of 
sendmain. Here's the complete story (sorry for long text):

Besides that I tried to run that wrapper directly on con:

- - -
[root mail]# ./wrapper mailcmd mmlist
Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 0.  (Reconfigure to take 0?)
- - -

Looking in google for that:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-August/021667.html

It looks like I got to re-configure the whole mailman install - But 
that's not possible with that pkg and sources missing, eh? Is that 
the error?
