Check out the FAQ, again. Your mailman applications where installed to be run by the local MTA (sendmail, postfix, exim, whatever...), and the expected Group ID for the MTA is <some_number>. Whatever is acting as your MTA is running as Group ID <some_other_number>
Look in /etc/group to see what Group name is associated with which GID #. If your mail handling program is indeed running with GID of <some_other_number>, then you can simply re-run the install of mailman (from source) with a simple config option. Another fix would be to reconfigure your MTA to run as GID <some_number>. Be careful if you choose this option - you may need to adjust the group rights on a few files or end up with a broken MTA.
