mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=0)
File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 101, in __init__
self.Load()
File "/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 573, in Load
dict, e = self.__load(file)

There are problems with permissions. To fix permisisons automatically execute the following command:

/$MAILMAN_ROOT_D/bin/check_perms -f
