Basically, what's happening, is that postfix isn't configured how you think it's configured.
You told mailman to expect the wrapper to be invoked by the mail system with a gid of "postfix", which, from your files below is 59999. It's telling you it was *not* invoked that way, it was run with a gid of 60001, which is nobody. Your two, very simple, choices are: Re run configure with --with-mail-gid=60001 Reconfigure postfix to run programs as postfix instead of nobody.
