I'm trying to get mailman up and running on my Gentoo box alongside postfix but I can't seem to get over this final hurdle. Here is what I get in my log when I try sending a message to one of my lists:

=== BEGIN LOG ===
Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/smtpd[19851]: 70D562C82A1: client=unknown[192.168.1.61]

Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/local[21592]: 70D562C82A1: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (Command died with status 8: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post kilimanjaro". Command output: Failure to find group name mailman. Try adding this group to your system, or re-run configure, providing an existing group name with the command line option --with-mail-gid. )
Dec 1 15:47:28 jupiter2 postfix/qmgr[1027]: 70D562C82A1: removed
=== END LOG ===


The pertinent part is "Failure to find group name mailman". However I know that this group exists:

   $ grep mailman /etc/group
   mailman::280:

As you can see, group "mailman" exists with ID 280. I checked my ebuild file for mailman and MAILGID is indeed set to 280, which means it should be passing --with-mail-gid=280 to the configure script. I have run check_perms and all permissions look okay.

Any ideas what else I can do to figure out what went wrong? I posted this request on the gentoo forums as well but so far the couple replies I received have not helped.

Thanks,
