Do what I did for v2.0.8. After installing mailman do a

chmod g-w ~mailman

AFAIK nothing writes to the top level mailman directory after the installation. All writing is done to subdirectories. I hope this is still true in 2.1.

I have looked through sendmail for the 'DontBlameSendmail' issue but I don't want to give up on security to fix this problem. I checked my permissions and everything is just according to the mailman documentation. How can I take care of this problem without having to compromise security ? Thanks jack

The setting is in your sendmail.cf file. It's something like "DontBlameSendmail". You can find details at: http://www.sendmail.org
