Now that I've thought about this a bit more, I think I see it more clearly. To summarize, the above message was written by the wrapper itself when you ran it from the command line as root. >Aug 1 13:25:01 list postfix/pickup[2498]: C122C8604E0: uid=41 from= >Aug 1 13:25:01 list postfix/cleanup[2767]: C122C8604E0: message-id= >Aug 1 13:25:01 list postfix/qmgr[2499]: C122C8604E0: from=, size=625, nrcpt=1 >(queue active) >Aug 1 13:25:02 list postfix/local[2769]: C122C8604E0: to=, orig_to=, >relay=local, delay=0.51, delays=0.25/0.05/0/0.21, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent >(delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman) >Aug 1 13:25:02 list postfix/qmgr[2499]: C122C8604E0: removed And these messages indicate a successful delivery to the wrapper by Postfix with no group mismatch error of the message you sent with mutt. So you don't have a group mismatch problem. The only group mismatch errors occur when you run the wrapper by hand as the 'wrong' user which is supposed to produce the group mismatch error so everything is working. If your posts are not reaching the 'mailman' list, there is some reason other than aliases or group mismatch for it.
