This appears to be a very old (2.0 vintage) Mailman, so I'm not certain
about this, but if you have Mailman's bin/check_perms, run

bin/check_perms -f

as root until it finds no errors.

Essentially, everything needs to be group 'mailman', and group
writable. In addition, /var/mailman/mail/wrapper (abd the other
wrappers in /var/mailman/cgi-bin) needs to be SETGID.
