Postfix, by default, would use postdrop as the group for most stuff; this is described in the Postfix install instructions. Mailman, by default, would use the group mailman. However I really think you are going to need to recompile mailman with --with-mail-gid=postdrop or something along those lines. I've not heard of anyone just compiling both Postfix and Mailman with default options and it working. -- Simon White.
