Ok, got it.  I had put a comment line directly above --with-mail-gid=staff
to remind myself what I had done.  I had to pull that out of the
"configure.args" block.  It also appears to work better if I abstract it a
bit by using;

       set mmgroup2            staff

then after the note to myself so I can revert if needed, change the
--with-mail-gid as below

       #BC MOD was --with-mail-gid=${mmgroup} \

      configure.args

                        --with-mail-gid=${mmgroup2} \


Those were the only changes I made.

Though it installs now, it's still throwing errors:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail

wrapper script to be executed as group "_mailman", but

the system's mail server executed the mail script as

group "staff".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the

script as group "_mailman", or re-run configure,

providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=staff'.
