It means the /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman wrapper exited with a
"group mismatch" error. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp>
for more generic info on this error and its correction.

There is a more detailed error message that may not be in your MTA logs
but should at least be in the DSN returned to the poster. This
detailed message will tell you as what group the wrapper was invoked
and what group was expected.
