Well.. then I am also confused to think what actually solve the issue...
When I first face the gid problem, I have removed the aliases from
/etc/aliases and add hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases at the 
alias section, and not run newaliases any more as suse automatically
add/remove aliases from /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases; I have come to
know this from suse doc and also confirm by checking the file.
Even after all those steps, I faced the gid issue. And now with
SMTPHOST = 'localhost', I don't have it any more. So I am also confused
what solved the issue. Though I am relaxed... the list is working :-)
