Group mismatch returns.

Recent upgrade borked my setup.
Group Mismatch error once again, and adding the configure line
--with-mail-gid=staff
and removing the line
--with-mail-gid=${mmgroup}
as suggested doesn't fix it.
What to do? How can I keep this from happening whenever I do a major upgrade/reinstall on my server?

These are really questions for Apple. I'm not aware of anyone on this list other than you who is running Mac OS X server Mailman. I think most people have had more success by completely ripping out the supplied Mailman and installing from source. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/O4A9>.
Note that making changes to configure options (at least in standard Mailman) don't do anything unless you actually run configure and make install.
What is your MTA? If it is Postfix and uses aliases for delivery to Mailman, what is the owner of the aliases.db file that contains the Mailman aliases.
What is the text of the group mismatch error message?

I'm not using the Apple-provided version of Mailman. I use Macports,
which downloads the source directly from Sourceforge/lists.org.
Much of that is ancient history or relates primarily to the OSXserver version.
Fortunately, I figured out what the problem was. Though I had installed with --with-mail-gid=staff, I hadn't also run a check_perms -f. That was apparently the missing puzzle piece.
