With postfix, it depends *entirely* on the configuration you use for delivering mail. I can't imagine a configuration where maildrop is the right group... how do you do local delivery? Here are the scenarios I know: global aliases file (owned by root) delivering to mailman: need GID=nobody private aliases file owned by mailman: need GID=mailman what's your config? Personally, I use the private aliases file owned by mailman and have the GID=mailman.
