Currently, I had updated my mailman server to a new machine.
(mailman-2.1.5_2 -> mailman-2.1.9_5)
My server is FreeBSD 7.0, Postfix + mailman 2.1.9_5

Now I create a new list by bin/newlist, but it got a error when I send mail
to this new list which is
" "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post eos". Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group
  "mailman".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
  "nobody", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
  `--with-mail-gid=mailman'."

So I reinstall mailman server with --with-mail-gid=mailman setting.
Then the new list can work correctly.

Since you appear to be building mailman from ports/mail/mailman, do a

 cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
 make config

And then set the MTA option to POSTFIX,

Then just

  make install

or use portupgrade or your favorite ports management tool.

Setting the POSTFIX option for building the port will build mailman correctly to run with the correct owner and group settings needed for postfix FreeBSD.

But the other question happened. "Group mismatch error" happeded on the old
lists which is
" "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post xip". Command output: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group "mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group
  "nobody".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
  "mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
  `--with-mail-gid=nobody' "

After you have reinstalled mailman with all the proper group and ownerships (the port Makefile really does do it correctly), then in

 cd /usr/local/mailman/bin
 ./check_perms
 ./check_perms -f

Cheers,
