Then I'm not sure what's happening, but

/var/mailman/mail/wrapper should be SETGID - normally its permissions
are 2755 and its user:group are root:mailman. The owner need not be
root, it is usually whatever user installed mailman.

And the directory /var/spool/mailman/qfiles/ needs to be writable by
the above group (mailman or ?). Normally, /var/spool/mailman and all
its subordinate directories will have permissions 2775 and user:group
root:mailman.
