Then you don't have wrapper installed correctly or aren't using it.
Wrapper sets the uid and gid of all Mj programs to what was configured
in the Makefile. The only reason to have the list files (and parent
directory) owned by group 'daemon' is if you set things up for *no*
world permissions. Then the only way sendmail can get to the list files
is through the group permissions.
