I see logfiles in /var/log/mailman/en but it isn't obvious (or not obvious enough anyway) what they all do. The wiki doesn't appear to describe them, can anyone refer me?

What Mailman package is this?
In a default source install, Mailman's log files are in /usr/local/mailman/logs/ or in logs/ in the 'var_prefix' directory.
Some packages put them in /var/log/mailman/. I've never seen them in /var/log/mailman/en/.
The logs Mailman writes are:
bounce - information related to automated bounce processing error - information and tracebacks from unanticipated exceptions and other error info. fromusenet - information about the mail<->news gateway locks - information about lockfile anomalies mischief - information about unpermitted actions such as login failures for lists with private rosters as these can be attempts to fish for list membership. post - information about delivered posts qrunner - qrunner start/stop and other status messages smtp - all Mailman's outgoing smtp sessions smtp-failure - failed outgoing smtp transactions subscribe - information about (un)subscriptions vette - information about things held for moderator approval and other similar events.
I just added https://wiki.list.org/x/17892009 to the wiki with this info.

I'm using virtualmin pro as a site admin and mailman is implemented as a webmin plugin. See here:
http://www.webmin.com/plugins.html
In the plugins page in Virtualmin is a config page that allows path configuration.
In a default source install, Mailman's log files are in /usr/local/mailman/logs/ or in logs/ in the 'var_prefix' directory.

mea culpa, not in ../en just in /var/log/mailman as you said
