From the mailman source:

/* exit codes, so it's easier to distinguish what caused fatal errors when
* looking at syslogs.
*/
#define GID_MISMATCH 2
#define SETREGID_FAILURE 3
#define EXECVE_FAILURE 4
#define MAIL_USAGE_ERROR 5
#define MAIL_ILLEGAL_COMMAND 6
#define ADDALIAS_USAGE_ERROR 7

Make sure your mailman director's user/group settings correspond to the mailman compiled settings.
