As good as RPM's are, and how they make life a lot easier on a lot of
software, mailman is a peice of software that works better installed from
source.  There's too much system dependent information that mailman relies
on (mail gid & gid for cgi's to run for example).

I can't answer this, I don't have a mailman 2.0.6 installation, but my guess
in the version number lies the problem.

I'd suggest implementing mailman 2.1.1 for your customers.  It's a LOT
nicer, a lot slicker, a lot cleaner, a lot more customizable, a lot more
everything than <2.1.

Good luck!  And come back with any other questions, sorry I couldn't answer
your list-id question, but since your this early in your experience, i'd be
smarter to jump in with mailman 2.1.1 instead of 2.0.6.
