Even if I changed layout drastically to achieve FHS compliance, this kind of
problem is quite curious. Those files are created at run-time, and I guess the
various scripts take care of ensuring correct perms, whereas group ownership is
ensured by the setgid bit for the log directory. For instance, smtp and qrunner
log files are OK. I'm gonna check with the developpers.

Could you check this is not yet another msec problem, due for instance to a
custom  setting from you ?

Current permissions for mailman error logs are :

ls -l -d /var/log/mailman/
  -rw-r-----  1 mail mail   0 mar 28 04:03 error
  -rw-r-----  1 mail mail  28 mar 21 19:35 error.1.gz
  -rw-rw-r--  1 mail mail 464 mar 28 14:58 qrunner
  -rw-rw-r--  1 mail mail 131 mar 28 14:58 smtp

This is causing problem when using apache interface of mailman because apache
doesn't have enough privilege to read those error log, causing error in the
apache module :
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4

We're sorry, we hit a bug!
