Fist off I had to remove the nologin and replace it with csh using chsh 
-s csh mailman to su - mailman
or else I get:
hosting# su - mailman
This account is currently not available.
hosting# id mailman
uid=91(mailman) gid=91(mailman) groups=91(mailman),26(mailnull)

Once that was done I was in the root dir: /usr/local/mailman which is fine

hosting# su - mailman
%id
uid=91(mailman) gid=91(mailman) groups=91(mailman)
%ls
