OK. Further searching turned up the FAQ pasted below from the Mailman
community FAQ, the gist of which is I have to recompile Mailman to
run as the required GID.
Has anyone else had to to do this or found another solution?
Thanks!

Have you ever gotten the following error message?

Normally you will need to reconfigure the software. You can do this
by issuing the following commands in the Source Code directory.
# make clean
# echo "NOTE: The following values for the GID's are example
values. The ones needed my your system will likely be
different. Check your MTA, web server configuration, and
logged error messages for details and the correct values.
# configure --with-cgi-gid=233 --with-mail-gid=12
# make install
Sometimes this still does not solve the problem. In these cases, you
need to check the following for the source of the problem:
For those people using Sendmail as their MTA under Mailman (not
generally recommended for performance reasons):
1. Does the smrsh directory contain a LINK to the actual Binary.
Placing a Binary in the directory
will have sendmail use the binary file, not the file which you are
compiling.
2. If you renamed the file (due to a confilict with Majordomo), are
you using a Link to the MailMan
binary wrapper file?
