That's a bit unusual.

drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 100 Mar 26 07:33 ../

refers to the /var/lib/mailman/ directory. I would expect it to be

drwxrwsr-x 5 root list 100 Mar 26 07:33 ../

however, I don't think that would cause this issue.

Is it only cron jobs that have this issue? Are they running as user
'list' (they should be). does 'somelist' work normally otherwise? Can
you access its web admin interface?
