So I'm a bit further.  I figured out how to set the MAIL_GID variable with 
make finally.  (FreeBSD ports installation.)

And now, I've created a list and have sent mail to it, but nothing seems to 
happen.

Logs show:

Feb  5 10:57:28 east postfix/qmgr[91727]: 3F5FA3E53: 
from=<sean at 2sparrows.org>, size=536, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Feb  5 10:57:29 east postfix/local[12138]: 3F5FA3E53: 
to=<church at 2sparrows.org>, relay=local,
delay=1, status=sent ("|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post church")

What now???

Thanks,
Sean

and a couple of minutes later:

Feb  5 11:00:00 east /usr/sbin/cron[12171]: (mailman) CMD 
(/usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news)



But then nothing ever get's sent to the list.
