You should only need to add postfix to the mail group (at least, that's
what I do on Slackware, where I have Postfix and Cyrus IMAPd compiled
from source).
You may still encounter a problem if Postfix is chrooted (the default in
Debian-based systems, I believe). It is perfectly safe to not chroot
Postfix, and I would recommend this as the easiest solution if it raises
issues.
