[Mailman-Users] Logs ownership keeps changing

The ownership of my logs files keep changing and then becoming unwriteable
(giving me the old "Permission Denied" traceback).

I've run check_perms -f.  I know all about that.  And then the ownership
is setup just fine.  But then a few days later, the ownership has changed
and I start getting errors again.

Mailman 2.1.4
Debian Woody
Apache
Exim

I tried compiling with other users but this setup is the one
that sends out email and has working archives and CGI.

Permissions after check_perms -f:

-rw-rw-r--    1 list     mailman         0 Apr 25 07:37 bounce
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     mailman         0 Apr 25 07:37 error
-rw-rw-r--    1 apache   mailman       282 Apr 21 06:57 mischief
-rw-rw-r--    1 mailman  mailman      1584 Apr 25 09:35 post
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     mailman         0 Apr 25 07:37 qrunner
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     mailman         0 Apr 25 07:37 smtp
-rw-rw-r--    1 apache   mailman      6728 Apr 24 22:33 subscribe
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     mailman         0 Apr 25 07:37 vette

Permissions after a few days:

-rw-rw-r--    1 list     list            0 Apr 25 07:37 bounce
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     list            0 Apr 25 07:37 error
-rw-rw-r--    1 apache   mailman       282 Apr 21 06:57 mischief
-rw-rw-r--    1 mailman  mailman      1584 Apr 25 09:35 post
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     list            0 Apr 25 07:37 qrunner
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     list            0 Apr 25 07:37 smtp
-rw-rw-r--    1 apache   mailman      6728 Apr 24 22:33 subscribe
-rw-rw-r--    1 list     list            0 Apr 25 07:37 vette

The permissions that get changed each time I run check_perms -f are:

/usr/local/mailman/logs/error bad group (has: list, expected mailman) (fixing)
/usr/local/mailman/logs/qrunner bad group (has: list, expected mailman) (fixing)
/usr/local/mailman/logs/smtp bad group (has: list, expected mailman) (fixing)
/usr/local/mailman/logs/vette bad group (has: list, expected mailman) (fixing)
/usr/local/mailman/logs/bounce bad group (has: list, expected mailman) (fixing)
