See 'man ps'

e.g.

ps -ewwo pid,euser,user,group,comm|egrep 'pickup|apache|python'

However, 'pickup' is a Postfix worker probably running as 'postfix', but
this is not the user/group under which Postfix will deliver to Mailman.
See the 'DELIVERY RIGHTS' paragraph in 'man local'. Note that the group
used is not the group of the aliases.db in which the alias was found. It
is the primary group of the owner of that file.

If your original install was from the tarball, and you still have the
directory into which you unpacked and configured it. I suggest you
download the latest release (2.1.22) from, e.g.,
<https://launchpad.net/mailman/+download>, configure it the same way and
install that.
