This is an FAQ item. The message you are getting means that your mail server is set to use GroupID 516. When you setup Mailman you told it that your mail server was using GroupID 12 (or you left it to the default and it found a GID called "mail" that was set to 12).
You can either change the GroupID that your MTA uses to 12, or you can re-install mailman and use the following: ./configure --with-mail-gid=516 This will install Mailman and set it to allow members of group 516 to access the mail wrapper program.
