Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group 
"mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as 
group "mailnull".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as 
group "mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option 
`--with-mail-gid=mailnull'.
