Interesting: My $prefix is /usr/lib/mailman. However, there is a /var/lib/mailman as that's where archives is. It's owned and grouped properly, and it does have the 1-bit set in the 'other' portion of its permissions mask. I can definitely fix that. But why does this all appear in /var/lib/mailman and not /usr/lib/mailman?
Mailman has two main configuration paths, $prefix for immutable code, etc. and $var_prefix for mutable data. By default, $var_prefix = $prefix, but in your case, you or the packager whose package you installed configured mailman with $prefix=/usr/lib/mailman and $var_prefix=/var/lib/mailman. This is not unusual.
I referred to $prefix rather than $var_prefix in a prior reply only because that was the term you used.
