hi,
I run freeBSD 4.9 Postfix 2.0.16 and mailman 2.1.14

When I test by sending this email: ff-subscribe at virtualdomain.com

I get:
<ff-subscribe at virtualdomain.com>: Command died with status 2:
"/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe ff". Command output: Group
mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as
group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group "mailman". Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
"nobody", or re-run configure, providing the command line option
`--with-mail-gid=mailman'

I re run mailman port, with make --with-mail-gid=mailman but I have the same
result.

when I do a "make options":

* MM_USERNAME [mailman]
  The username of the Mailman user
* MM_USERID [92]
  The user ID of the Mailman user
    It is recommended that you do not change this option.
* MM_GROUPNAME [mailman]
  The group to which the Mailman user will belong
* MM_GROUPID [92]
  The group ID for the Mailman user
    It is recommended that you do not change this option.
* MM_DIR [mailman]
  Mailman will be installed in ${PREFIX}/${MM_DIR}
* MAIL_GID [mailnull]
      ----------------------------------------------------
    MTA     | MAIL_GID       | Submitted by
    Exim3   | nobody (65534) | <wjv at FreeBSD.org>
    Exim4   | mail   (6)     | <wjv at FreeBSD.org>
    Postfix | mailman        | <vivek at khera.org>
    Qmail   | ???            |
    ----------------------------------------------------
    NOTE: for Postfix, the group may need to be 'nobody' if you are not
    using the Mailman integration for generating the postfix virtual and
    aliases files.
* CGI_GID [www]
  The group name or id under which your web server executes CGI scripts
    By default, this port works with the current port of Apache2.  If your
    WWW server executes CGI scripts under a different GID, you'll have to
    set this at build time.
* IMGDIR [www/icons]
  Icon images will be installed in ${PREFIX}/${IMGDIR}
* WITH_CHINESE [undefined]
  Define to include support for Chinese mailing lists
* WITH_HTDIG [undefined]
  Define to include the htdig integration patches.
