Ok, think I found the cause...
The server I try to install to has heartbeat/cluster software installed.
I already has a group with GID 90:
# grep 90 /etc/group
haclient:x:90:
The postfix rpm has hardcoded:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 90 -r postdrop 2>/dev/null
So that's the reason I get the messages...
Thx for all your help

Trying to switch from sendmail to postfix I did:
# yum remove sendmail
which resulted in erasing of:
mdadm sendmail-doc sendmail sendmail-cf mutt fetchmail redhat-lsb
I did then:
yum -y install redhat-lsb.x86_64 postfix
and got this error:

You don't need to remove sendmail, you can just use system-switch-mail
to set postfix as the MTA.
I knew that thx.
I tested the exact same steps on our internal testmachine. Must admit it
has EL5.2 x86_64 on it but did not show this behaviour.
