Hi,
I've no idea why it's set to guest, I can't remember. Maybe it's because
of the sendmail in 1.6.x ?
I've set MAILMAN_MAILGROUP= 1 in my /etc/mk.conf and forgot about it.
I can't tell if it was there before the upgrade of this server to 3.0.
I don't have any problems with it being changed to daemon.
I'm not sure it will work with postfix, though ...
