I'm running mailman 2.1.2; debian package version is 2.1.2-6. I'm using
Sendmail for mail.

The traceback below showing up in my error log. Running check_perms
says "no problems found." The directory in question looks like this: drwxrws--- 2 root list 4096 Aug 1 13:00 database

I looked in the list archives, and found similar, but not identical,
problems. I'm thinking whatever is causing this is also prevent mail
for one of the lists for getting out.

What can I do to fix this?
