This may or may not be correct. I believe that when postfix finds
mailman aliases in an aliases.db file it will run the pipe as the
user:group that owns the file. If you have configured Mailman/Postfix
integration and the aliases are in data/aliases and data/aliases.db,
the group of these files in normally 'mailman' so Mailman should be
configured using --with-mail-gid=mailman (or the default).

I'm not any kind of Postfix expert, so this behavior may depend on
other Postfix configuration settings.
