Similar arrangements exist with exim. The normal policy with the
exim/Mailman configuration is to set the invoking uid/gid for the
mailman wrapper suit whatever mailman was built for. [This is
particularly useful when you are using a packaged mailman, which was
probably built by someone considering how things work for sendmail]
