There was, so I am now tailing log files

/var/log/maillog showed:

Mailman cgi-wrapper (admin): Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the
CGI wrapper script to be executed by a member of the "_mailmanq" group

I changed the links owner/group to _mailman / _mailmanq

the message above has disappeared, but slowcgi complains that :

execve //mailman is a directory

(slowcgi is fastcgi to cgi wrapper server, and adjunct to openbsd's
httpd)

... but I still get the 500 Internal Server Error

If no obvious candidate for inspection, maybe I should reinstall the
Mailman package and start afresh :(
