I have these entries in my /etc/group file to help with this.

/etc/group:mail:x:12:postfix,dliston,majordomo
/etc/group:majordomo:x:91:mail,dliston,smmsp
/etc/group:smmsp:x:51:majordomo

The permissions on my /var/spool/clientmqueue look like this.

drwxrwx---    2 smmsp    smmsp        4096 Apr  8 04:18 clientmqueue
