systemd-sysv-generator runs at boot to generate temporary systemd
services from /etc/init.d/* scripts for backwards compatibility with
SysV init.

If you have copied the init script from misc/mailman to
/etc/init.d/mailman, it should work with systemd. Note that the script
is misc/mailman, not scripts/mailman as it says in the manual. (I'm
fixing that.)
