The group mismatch error is coming from some Mailman mail/mailman wrapper, so if you move yours aside and still get the error, Postfix is piping to a different wrapper.
Look at your Postfix configuration and find every alias file it references and look in all those files. There is some aliases* file somewhere referenced by Postfix and probably owned by root which is piping mail for this list to some other wrapper.

I checked the aliases used by postfix and every occurence of "mail/mailman" or "mail/wrapper", renamed them all, restarted mailman and postfix and - using commandline "mail" from mailx - still got the same error!
After replacing package "mailx" by "mail" the command "mailman" finally could not be found as expected. Now with the new source installation of mailman everything is ok.
If You have a sensible explanation for this, I would be interested. Seems that the whole installation was pretty broken.
Thank You for Your help
