Mailman ebuilds mailman-2.1.6_rc4.ebuild and mailman-2.1.6.ebuild are broken when using postfix. The solution is to change MAILGID from 'nobody' to 'mailman' in ebuilds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

This is also in mailman-2.1.5-r4. MAILGID is set to 280 which is the new user id for mailman. MAILGID should be 12.
How do I set the MAILGID from 280 to 12? I had this same idea last night to try it. If I change the .ebuild, then I get MD5 verify errors and it won't compile. How come this version used to work? Did something else change? I've diff'd the ebuilds and they all show 280, or were they different before and my emerge synch replaced the .ebuilds with updated ones?
I renumbered the mailman directory to 280:280, then did a userdel mailman, groupdel mailman. That resolved the issue. chown -R 280:280 /usr/local/mailman userdel mailman groupdel mailman
