Exactly which directories/files get incorrect owner:group? What exactly
is the incorrect owner:group? Is the superordinate directory group
'list' and SETGID?

Note that in general the owner is irrelevant but the group should
always be 'list'. The only place owner matters is on the single
directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/private and only if it is not o+x.
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/tYA9> and the installation
manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html> for further
information.
