[Mailman-Users] mail-aliases make problems

[Jon Carnes]

That message my friend comes from the mailman wrapper itself.  To change it
you will have to recompile... Here is more of the message (straight from the
code of the wrapper program):
   The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did
   not match the gid as set by the Web server.
   The most likely cause is that Mailman was
   configured and installed incorrectly.  Please
   read the INSTALL instructions again, paying close
   attention to the --with-cgi-gid configure
   option.  This entry is being stored in your syslog:

So re-install from the source!  It is really easy to do....
