I use virtualenv - strictly setup freshly as described in the mailman3-description.
The virtualenv type of installation should not be writing anything to /var/log/mailman. I meant this documentation: https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-install Even if you did not use /opt/mailman/ as suggested in this documentation, the var_dir config in mailman.cfg should NOT point to /var/log!
# /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg
[paths.here]
var_dir: /opt/mailman/mm/var
There is no way mailman would be logging to /var/log if you did setup that value to a path within the virtualenv. Plus, having mailman files in /var/log in itself would be scary. So I believe you aren't using the virtualenv method.
The issue may be a relict stemming from the former installation, difficult to find.
Use virtualenv and you will not be fighting this war.
