problem with GID and postfix
hi list,
after hours of searching on the net (finding that the problem is not unknown, but not yielding a solution for me) and several rebuilds of mailman (mailman-2.1.8rc1, from NetBSD pkgsrc) i'm stuck.
as advised, i built mailman with --with-mail-gid=nobody (for postfix), but this leads me to following problem when trying to post to a newly created (the first, one and only on the machine) list:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group "mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group "nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.
i figure that i need to tell postfix to run
/usr/pkg/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman@riscworks.net
as nobody. can i force postfix to do this?
any hints greatly appreciated - thanks in advance,

You have two choices. Postfix runs the pipe as the user:group that owns the alias file that the pipe came from. You could change the group of data/aliases* to nobody, but that with cause other problems with automatic alias generation for Postfix (assuming you have set MTA = 'Postfix')
The better choice is to rerun configure with --with-mail-gid=mailman and reinstall.
