Yeah, I made this change because it makes Postfix installation much
easier.  With that MTA, you want your mail programs running under
user.group mailman, so that default makes the most sense (i.e. a
simple "configure ; make install" Just Works).

Am I being too biased towards Postfix to the detriment of other MTAs?
