It took me several hours to figure out how to start Mailman2.1 on a Debian
  system, where it is package is run as list. It complained it could not
  open the pid file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## file: /etc/systemd/system/mailman.service

[Unit]
Description=GNU Mailman Mailing List Manager
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=list
Group=list
RuntimeDirectory=mailman
PIDFile=/run/mailman/mailman.pid
ExecStart=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Hopefully this will save some good folks' time!
