The port sets up mailman, specifying --with-mail-gid=mailman

(see http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node7.html)

Depending on your MTA configuration, this may or may not actually be  
what you want (for instance, a relatively default sendmail install on  
Mac OS X wants --with-mail-gid=daemon)

You might be able to reconfigure your MTA to make things work.
