I performed a cursory investigation of this at [2], which you are more than welcome to unravel and come to the Correct Conclusion. I would like to add a couple of disclaimers here though: 1) Mailman is unmaintained 2) I never intended to maintain mailman (I already maintain sympa -- I can't look after two mailing list ports!) 3) My sole intention was to stop manually creating users in the port. >From my commits, there has been no functional change to the end-result of the port (i.e. MAIL_GID is still the same right now as it was before I touched it). I'm afraid that unless someone steps up to maintain the port and sort this debate out, it will continue to rage. If you are convinced that for your setup you know the right answer, just stick MAIL_GID=3Dnobody into /etc/make.conf and you'll be happy. Please don't take this as negativity from me, but I'm afraid I simply have not got the time to deal with this issue, however I will do whatever is needed with people to 'get it right'. My concern was only to get the pw commands out of pkg-\(de\)\?install.
