In theory, yes.

The Mailman developers have done a lot of work to try to make Mailman 
as NFS-safe as possible.  However, any time you introduce NFS into 
this kind of a system, there are going to be a number of additional 
issues you may face which otherwise might not have been a problem.

Mailman has tools that you can use to try to help diagnose such 
problems -- specicially the command-line program "check_perms".  See 
FAQ 4.9 and the site admin documentation for more information.
