I changed it to 2771 (I just needed too do a chmod o-r).

OK, this is confusing. The public archive directories are links
(lrwxrwxrwx) to the private archive directories which contain the actual
archives. Those directories are drwxrwsr-x. The files are 755.

No, it is 2273. I'm not sure I understand this question. The pid would
depend on when qrunner was launched. I have stopped and started mailman
several times so the pid could be anything, couldn't it?
