Mailman executed as the "wrong" group

After I installed a few updates and restarted my server  mailman won't accept mails and throws this error instead:

Command died with
    status 2: "/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post admins". Command output:
    Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be
    executed as group "80", but the system's mail server executed the mail
    script as group "mailman".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script
    as group "80", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option
    `--with-mail-gid=mailman'.

but the group with id 80 is the mailman group...

grep mailman /etc/group
mailman:x:80:

The mail server is a normal postfix setup and all the alias tables and transport maps are owned by the group mailman.

ls -l /var/lib/mailman/data/

-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 12288  6. Feb 2011  virtual-mailman.db

Why is mailman complaining that it is executed with the wrong group when it is actually executed with the correct group?
