I set up a test mailing list and I Can go to the webpage and fill in everything and I get the confirmation email just fine. When I reply to confirm I get the following errors.
Syslog shows May 25 22:34:08 emily Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 12, GOT gid 2. (Reconfigure to take 2?)
And the email says:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" (expanded from: <test-request@mystic.nu>)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"... unknown mailer error 2
When I run configure, it automatically picks 12 as the GID for mail but if I try any other GID including 2 with ./configure --with-mail-gid it says configure: error: ***** No existing group found for the mail_wrapper program.
I've tried every GID I have! :) None of them work though. SO I guess what I need to know is how the heck do I find (or make) the proper group/GID that sendmail uses?
I'm running Linux 3.6 with kernel 2.2.5 and sendmail-8.9.1 if this makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to recompile mailman to use GID 2, if you check the INSTALL file it will walk you through it.

The command is
./configure --with-mail-gid=2 (for example)

Look in the /etc/sendmail.cf file and it will have a line that looks like
O DefaultUser=nouser:nogroup
the nouser is the uid and nogroup is the gid. You can then look in your /etc/group file to see what number the nogroup corresponds to.
