Basically, Postfix will deliver to the owner of Mailman's alias file. So long as that is owned by mailman user, and so long as the mailman user has the mailman group as it's primary GID, then running with --with-mail-gid=mailman is correct. You'll probably find Mailman's documentation helpful: http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Understanding+group+mismatch+errors+-+how+mailman+implements+security http://www.seaglass.com/postfix/mailman-gid.html Regards, -- -Chuck
