When I had this problem the following answer helped me:
Michael,
I've had the same problem before. In order for Mailman to work
properly, it has to know the gid of the mail program at compile time.
In this case it was told the mail program's gid was that of group
"mailman", but when the script was executed it was with the gid of
group
"deamon". The easiest way I've found (and possibly the only?) to fix
it
is to use vigr to get the gid of the daemon group, then edit the
mailman
ebuild file. Right near the top of the file is an option for setting
the mail-gid. Change that number to the one you found from vigr, then
re-emerge mailman. Keep in mind that you'll have to repeat this
procedure every time you upgrade mailman because the new ebuild won't
have your changes in it.
I have tried this twice. Once changing the ebuild in
/var/db/pkg/net-mail/ then I created a /root/portage-overlay/ and tried
to do it that way. I'm missing something. I'm just not sure what it
is. I feel pretty clueless right now.
