I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly - I haven't been following this particular thread (sorry!), but it sounds like you're having a similar problem to one I had awhile ago. Here is the response I got that fixed it: Michael, I've had the same problem before. In order for Mailman to work properly, it has to know the gid of the mail program at compile time. In this case it was told the mail program's gid was that of group "mailman", but when the script was executed it was with the gid of group "deamon". The easiest way I've found (and possibly the only?) to fix it is to use vigr to get the gid of the daemon group, then edit the mailman ebuild file. Right near the top of the file is an option for setting the mail-gid. Change that number to the one you found from vigr, then re-emerge mailman. Keep in mind that you'll have to repeat this procedure every time you upgrade mailman because the new ebuild won't have your changes in it.
