Today I updated my ports and tried to upgrade my mailman install, but it 
failed because I use my own user and group:

===>  Installing for mailman-2.1.14_5
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if mail/mailman already installed
===> Creating users and/or groups.
** Cannot find any information about group `postlocal' in /usr/ports/GIDs.
*** Error code 1

My local user will never be in /usr/ports/GIDs of course.  I am using:
# more /etc/make.conf
#For Mailman
MM_USERNAME=postlocal
MM_USERID=2012
MM_GROUPNAME=postlocal
MM_GROUPID=2012
MAIL_GID=postlocal

Should I be doing something different?  Please let me know if I can 
help.  Thanks.
