You probably really don't want to do that.  Lots of mail-related
applications expect the group to be "mail", and as Ken points out, you
probably don't want anyone in the mail group, as that will give them
(probably) full access to the mail system.  AND you don't want groups
associated with other applications to be used, so that, say, a
compromise of the postgresql daemon doesn't also automatically
compromise your mail system.  Well-established user/group conventions
exist for very good reasons; you should follow them.
