I seem not to have file level access to the mailman hierarchy, so I guess I need advice as to what permissions I need to ask them to manually set on which files or folders.

You need to ask the host to run Mailman's bin/check_perms (probably /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/check_perms) as root with the '-f' option. That should fix most permission problems.
They also should look at Mailman's error log (probably /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/error) and see what the actual problems are because other fixes may be needed.
If they need help, they should come here directly rather than using you as an intermediary.
Many thanks Mark. I've no wish to act an intermediary if they are unsure
as to what to do, but I do want the report to look like I have some idea
of what the problem is :-)
I hope I'll only bring this back to the list to report a satisfactory
resolution ...
Thanks again, Malcolm.
