[Mailman-Users] postfix, bsd, and local delivery uses differnt GID than external delivery

When mail gets sent from a local user to the list running on the local
machine (postifix, freebsd, pine) the wrapper gets invoked with GID 1, but
if the message gets send from an external user it gets invoked with GID
65534.

Is this a misconfiguration of my Postfix install?
