Your aliases or whatever your MTA uses to deliver mail to Mailman
do/does not point to the correct location for the mail/mailman wrapper.
This says the MTA is trying to pipe the mail to
/usr/local/mailmam/mail/mailman, and that file is not found.

This is a separate issue from the one above. It says that your Mailman
has been configured to expect the mailman/mail/mailman wrapper to be
invoked by the some process running as group 'mailnull', but the MTA is
invoking it as group 'wheel'.

You can see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> for a more detailed
explanation, but how to fix it is a FreeBSD packaging question.
