Yes. You now have your aliases recognized by Postfix and your mail is
being properly piped to the wrapper, but as it says, there is now a
mismatch between the group Postfix is using to run the pipe and the
group the wrapper expects.

You need to do as it says. Either

(1)change the Postfix configuration somehow (I can't tell you how -
this is a Postfix, not a Mailman question) so that Postfix pipes the
mail to Mailman as group 'mail', or

(2)Rerun mailman's configure script exactly as was done previously
except with the addition (or change) of '--with-mail-gid=nogroup' and
then rerun 'make install'
