Im still no advanced in my earlier post i still have same kind of problem
even i know gids are as they should be, is there anyway to check the gids
by hand? any program to report the gids.
i am quite positive that this linux is broken.
or mailman doesnt work correctly.

just for your convience:
[lennu at mail lennu]$ grep mailman /etc/group
mail::12:mail,mailman
mailman::2169:mailman,mail
[lennu at mail lennu]$ grep mailman /etc/passwd
mailman:*:2169:12:Mailman:/home/mailman:/usr/bin/bash
[lennu at mail lennu]$ ls -la ~mailman/mail/
total 34
drwxrwsr-x   2 root     mailman      1024 Feb  9 12:14 .
drwxrwsr-x  18 mailman  mailman      1024 Feb  9 12:14 ..
-rwxr-sr-x   1 root     mailman     31099 Feb  9 12:14 wrapper
