Is the MTA Postfix? If so, the problem is your Mailman aliases.db file
is not owned by 'mailman' (probably by root) and --with-mail-gid=mailman
should be correct.

What does "broke the web interface" mean? If you look in apache's error
log, there may be a group mismatch error there. Are you shure the web
server runs as user 'apache' and not 'www-data' or something else. Try

ps -fwwA|egrep '(apache|httpd)'
