I get the following error,

May 12 19:57:32 [Mailman mail-wrapper] Group mismatch error.  Mailman
expected the mail_wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman",
but_the system's mail server executed the mail script as_group "nobody".
Try tweaking the mail server to run the_script as group "mailman", or
re-run configure, _providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=nobody'.

where exactly is the 'configure' command, I checked inside of the mailman
bin directory but it was not there.  My guess is that it refers to the
./configure script to be run before installing.  Unfortuatly I installed
using a premade package and do not have the source on hand.  Any way to
have the program expect group nobody without doing that or a way to make
postfix use that group to run /only/ that script?
