It would be a solution IF postfix executes the pipe to the wrapper as
group 'postfix'. As far as I know, this group can be configured in
postfix, but I don't know the exact method. I also don't know how this
is affected by running postfix chrooted.

The thing that must be true is that whatever group postfix uses to
execute the pipe to the wrapper must be the same as the
--with-mail-gid= setting given to configure.

The same is true of the group that the web server uses to execute the
cgi-bin wrappers and the --with-cgi-gid= given to configure.
