Procmail doesn't like something about
/etc/procmailrcs/listname.procmailrc. I'm only guessing, but try
removing world read and making the group other than root.

Also see <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> because if "listname's" group is
not the --with-mail-gid group compiled into
/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman, you'll get a group mismatch error next.
