This is a group mismatch error and will prevent any mail from reaching Mailman. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp>. I'm guessing that this is Postfix. I would say, if that is the case, to make the owner of Mailman's aliases* files 'mail' to fix this, but I'm confused as to what in particular the definitions of MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP are (in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py).
