No. You don't need (or want) suEXEC. The above message indicates that
you configured mailman with --with-cgi-gid=mm. This is not what you
wanted to do as it requires you to have Apache run the cgi-bin
wrappers as group 'mm' (which I think you could do with User and Group
directives rather than suEXEC, but you don't want to anyway).

What you need is just what it says. Rerun configure with
--with-cgi-gid=Administrators instead of --with-cgi-gid=mm (and the
rest of the options the same as before) and then run 'make install'.
