Sorry for misspelling the name of the SW: it's Asterisk, open source
PBX. And the web server is Apache 2.x.

I learned from the beginning, that if Mailman is installed from source
it would have been easier to cope with the group mismatch problem, but...

Admin installed Mailman from the RHEL rpm, so, thanks for the pointer,
I'll try to find answers from that community. (I knew it's good I
subscribed to CentOS list earlier! =) )

Thanks again,
all the best,

Alexei.
