Nope, the only thing in my errors logs are the few failed login attempts 
to non-existent lists from the web adminstration page.

I did notice something with regards to permissions though.  While all 
the files in the list directory were owned by mailman.mailman, the 
directory itself was root.mailman.  I'm not sure whether this makes a 
difference or not.   I have since set the entire mailman directory and 
it's contents to be owned by mailman.mailman just to be sure.
