>Description:
The Makefile of Mailman contains unsuitable definitions of these two variables:

MAILMAN_USER
MAILMAN_GROUP

Which both default do the daemon user/group, although mailman should run under 
the 'mailman' group and the 'mailman' user.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply compile the latest Mailman version from pkgsrc.
>Fix:
Edit /usr/pkgsrc/mail/mailman/Makefile

Changes made:
  MAILMAN_USER?=          mailman
  MAILMAN_GROUP?=         mailman
