I recommend

--prefix=/usr/lib/mailman
--with-var-prefix=/var/lib/mailman

The above are optional. Without them everything installs in /usr/local/mailman which is also OK, but I prefer to separate the mutable and immutable data and the above are more consistent with FHS.

Then for CentOS with Postfix

--with-cgi-gid=apache
--with-mail-gid=mailman
--with-mailhost=Your.primary.email.domain
--with-urlhost=Your.primary.web.domain

and if you aren't going to use the system's default Python

--with-python=/path/to/pythonx.y
