>Description:
1) installed ports
postfix-2.8.5,1
mailman-2.1.14_5

2) Group mismatch error

This error can be repeatable. I  could fixed with making from mailman
source with configure --mm-groupname=nobody, not via ports

i) make config to use postfix under mail/mailman
ii) confirm the postfix checkbox
iii) portinstall mail/mailman

After conventional setup as the post-install document,
mailman cause group mismatch error: bellow

<ref_impl_ruby at koko.totto.to>: Command died with status 2:
   "/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post ref_impl_ruby". Command output: Group
   mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as
   group "nobody", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as
   group "mailman".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group
   "nobody", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
   `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.
>How-To-Repeat:
shown as above.
>Fix:
Group id should be configured.
