The wrapper script will run as the GID that it was compiled to run as;
this has nothing whatsoever to do with Postfix.
The postfix-users list will just tell you to come back here, I expect.
You'll have to recompile Mailman with the correct --with-mail-gid
option. The option to give to --with-mail-gid is the group that Postfix
runs as...
You could choose to be obtuse and recompile Postfix to run as the group
nogroup, but I think that could break other stuff in the system that
depends on Postfix.
