Actually, the scripts directory should be 2775. The wrappers that
should be 2755 are /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman and
/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/*, but the cgi-bin/* wrappers are probably
OK if the web interface works.

At this point, run

bin/check_perms -f

as root until you get no errors. That should fix most permissions. Then
if Postfix still can't execute the /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
wrapper for no permission (with status 1), and you can't figure out
why, you might try asking on a Postfix group or list.
