The message above is telling you that the mail wrapper is expecting to be invoked as group 'mailman' (which you already know because you told it to expect that when you configured with --with-mail-gid=mailman), but the MTA is executing the pipe to Mailman as GID 1004. rerunning configure with --with-mail-gid=1004 may fix this or you could try to change whatever is required in your MTA or its Mailman aliases to make it run the pipe to Mailman as group Mailman.
