Thanks! I added this to mk.conf:

# pkgsrc/mail/mailman
MAILMAN_MAILGROUP=      daemon
MAILMAN_DATADIR=        /home/mailman

And I have MTA = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py.

But it seems that now it says in /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mailman/Makefile:

MAILMAN_MAILGROUP?=     daemon  # group sendmail runs under;
                                # use 'nobody' for postfix

So I will try 'mailman' and if that doesn't work, then 'nobody'.

Thanks again,
