[Mailman-Users] update trashed Mailman... :-/

I remember last time 'tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
"mailman"'. After some file rummaging, I decided to rerun "configure
--with-mail-gid=nogroup" & remake mailman. Lists are working again. Hopefully
that will permanently solve the issue...
