The INSTALL file for Mailman contains the following:

<quote>
2. Running configure

     TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE --with-mail-gid AND --with-cgi-gid
     OPTIONS BELOW.  YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO USE THESE!

......

       --with-mail-gid=<group-or-groups>
             Specify an alternative group for running scripts via the
             mail wrapper.  <group-or-groups> can be a list of one or
             more integer group ids or symbolic group names.  The first
             value in the list that resolves to an existing group is
             used.  By default, the value is the list
             `mailman other mail daemon'.

             This is highly system dependent and you must get this
             right, because the group id is compiled into the mail
             wrapper program for added security.  On systems using
             sendmail, the sendmail.cf configuration file designates
             the group id of sendmail processes using the "DefaultUser"
             option.  (If commented out, it still may be indicating the
             default...)

             Check your MTA's documentation and configuration files to
             find the right value for this switch.
