As I understand it, Postfix will run the CGI's as the user/group that
owns the alias file (as long as it isn't root). So create a secondary
Aliases file that is just for Mailman aliases and set it's
ownership/group to Mailman (well, at least the group).

The README.Postfix has a good write up of this.  That file is included
with the source.
