[root@linuxbox mailman-2.0.6]# grep Group /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group nobody on these systems!
Group nobody

So I try the install with group daemon and nobody..:

./configure --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=daemon --with-cgi-gid=nobody
checking for mail wrapper GID...
configure: error:
***** No existing group found for the mail_wrapper program.
***** This is the group that your mail delivery agent runs under, and
***** uses to run filter programs.  You might want to specify an
***** existing group with the --with-mail-gid configure option.
***** Please see your mail agent's documentation, and the INSTALL file
***** for details

nobody value for gid is 65534

Also tried this:

./configure --prefix=/opt/mailman --with-mail-gid=nobody --with-cgi-gid=http
checking for mail wrapper GID...
configure: error:
***** No existing group found for the mail_wrapper program.
***** This is the group that your mail delivery agent runs under, and
***** uses to run filter programs.  You might want to specify an
***** existing group with the --with-mail-gid configure option.
***** Please see your mail agent's documentation, and the INSTALL file
***** for details

It alwaysfails for mail_wrapper program... can find no referneces to 
mail_wrapper either.. so I  guess this is a symlink of some sort I need to 
setup... to sendmails wrapper...?

I have found a wrapper in /usr/libexec/sendmail that is currently ln -s to 
/opt/mailman/wrapper from my first setup...

hmmmm
