If the file /var/lib/mailman/logs/error exists, then it needs group
write permission for the group that mailman executes under. If the
file doesn't exist, then the /var/lib/mailman/logs directory needs the
same.

The command line program

  bin/check_perms

can help you determine what permissions are not sufficient. When run as
root with the -f option, it can fix problems. Run it whith --help for
more information.
