What I can tell you is this. The error message
-----
Failure to find group name mailnull. Try adding this group
to your system, or re-run configure, providing an
existing group name with the command line option --with-mail-gid.
-----
comes from the function check_caller in src/common.c which contains
some support functions used by the wrappers. The name 'mailnull' in
this message is actually the --with-mail-gid configured group name,
not the actual group that invoked the wrapper.
check_caller is doing the following:
GID_T mygid = getgid();
struct group *mygroup = getgrgid(mygid);
GID_T is set from GETGROUPS_T which in turn is defined in src/Makefile
(as gid_t on my system). The types gid_t and group are defined in
<grp.h> which is included via src/common.h.
getgid() is a c library function that gets the actual numeric parent
group id and getgrgid() gets the group structure from the numeric id.
The above message is issued if getgrgid() returns a null pointer. Thus
it really means not that mailnull is not a registered group, but
rather that the group id that smrsh used to invoke the wrapper is not
a registered group.
Either it is true that smrsh is invoking the wrapper as an unregistered
group or something in your OS and/or C library is not working right.
