Hi Mark,

I didn't have it quite right. I got this postfix error:

Sep 17 07:30:46 harmonia postfix/local[22654]: A6FE22B14:
to=<rusht...@harmonia.csd.net>, relay=local, delay=0.15,
delays=0.09/0.04/0/0.02, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with
status 2: "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post rushtalk". 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'. )

I assumed, for lack of anything better, '*--with-mail-gid=mailman'*. 
Obviously I should have used '*--with-mail-gid=nobody*'. The
documentation was lacking on what that parameter should be. I suggest
you add this to your document.
