Using the instructions from the list I found, I am getting this error
posting to a list I created:..
The Postfix program
<alumni at citadel97.com>: Command died with status 2: "/Applications/mailman/mail/mailman post alumni". Command
output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be
executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail
script as group "www". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as
group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=www'...
So, I tried again using:
sudo ./configure --prefix=/Applications/mailman --with-cgi-gid=www -- with-mail-gid=www
And then I get this error:

I suspect you made another change, either directly or indirectly in the group ownership of the aliases file from which Postfix gets its Mailman aliases.
Postfix will run the pipe to the Mailman mail wrapper as the user/group that owns the aliases* files from which the pipe alias came.
If Mailman's Postfix integration (MTA = 'Postfix') is in use, the aliases will be in Mailman's data/aliases and data/aliases.db and these file will be group owned by 'mailman'. Thus, the first configuration is correct as long as the aliases* files are owned by the 'mailman' group which they need to be for the Postfix integration to work.
