Mailman Makefile contains:
.if defined(WITH_SENDMAIL) MAIL_GID?= mailnull .endif
But after installation (FreeBSD 6.2, /usr/ports/mail/mailman) when I send any message to mailman list I receive the error: -----Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mailwrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailnull". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "mailman", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailnull'.-------------- What (and how!) can I do to set MAIL_GID= mailnull?
If I understand I'll describe this in detail for mailman users!

This is not our Makefile. I can only guess that it is a FreeBSD port Makefile.
I answered this question as best as I could a few days ago. The answer is at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-July/057812.html>. If you have questions about my answer, please be specific as to what they are.
Otherwise, this is a FreeBSD issue and you might have better luck persuing it using FreeBSD resources.

Yep, it's a FreeBSD port. While I run both free and open bsd, I've found that there are a few things better installed from original source. Mailman is one of them. The only thing that the port really gives is the uname/group consistent with fbsd standards. You can easily pull that out of the makefile.
(ISTR that the tcl port lags the actual release a bit, too. Can't think of the others off hand.)
