FreeBSD 6 and 'mailman' Issues

I've installed mailman from both the current ports and packages
and noted a common problem.
It seems that after a clean install, sometime later, permissions are
getting changed on its directory tree. In going through the
various /etc/periodic entries, I don't see where this is getting done.
There is some very brief discussion of this in the mailman docs,
but I'm still slightly confused. So..., I guess the question is,
how to do I install mailman such that check_perms does not grumble about
things like this:
directory permissions must be 02775:
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing.mbox
directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing
directory permissions must be 02775:
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/testing/2007-August
directory permissions must be 02775: /usr/local/mailman/lists/testing
Problems found: 4
Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix
Do I need to install mailman with some special flag set or is there
a way to keep whatever is doing this from clobbering the permissions?
FWIW, I am running sendmail with MailScanner/clamav/spamassassin.
There are thus three running instances:
root 1066 0.0 0.1 4492 2588 ?? Ss 11:00PM 0:10.65 sendmail:
accepting connections (sendmail)
root 1073 0.0 0.1 3640 2232 ?? Is 11:00PM 0:00.03 sendmail: Queue
runner at 00:15:00 for /var/spool/mqueue (sendmail)
smmsp 1081 0.0 0.1 3508 2112 ?? Is 11:00PM 0:00.03 sendmail: Queue
runner at 00:15:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail)
TIA,
