Hi Guys:
Not having used that software I'm not sure how to help.
Here is something I found that sounds like something related to the problem:
The url is followed by the text I found interesting related to this thread I
think:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/create-install-dir.html
2.2 Create the installation directory
Typically, Mailman is installed into a single directory, which includes both
the
Mailman source code and the run-time list and archive data. It is possible
to split
the static program files from the variable data files and install them in
separate
directories. This section will describe the available options.
The default is to install all of Mailman to /usr/local/mailman
2
. You can change this base installation directory (referred to here as
$prefix) by
specifying the directory with the --prefix configure
option. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mailman, you may
want to
use the
--prefix option unless you move your mailing lists.
Warning: You cannot install Mailman on a filesystem that is mounted with the
nosuid
option. This will break Mailman, which relies on setgid programs for its
security.
If this describes your environment, simply install Mailman in a location
that allows
setgid programs.
Make sure the installation directory is set to group mailman (or whatever
you're
going to specify with --with-groupname) and has the setgid bit set
3
. You probably also want to guarantee that this directory is readable and
executable
by everyone. For example, these shell commands will accomplish this:
% cd $prefix
% chgrp mailman .
% chmod a+rx,g+ws .
Warning: The installation directory, $prefix, cannot be the same directory
that the
source tarball has been unpacked to and in which you run configure
, but it can, if you wish, be a subdirectory, e.g.,
$prefix/src.
You are now ready to configure and install the Mailman software.
Footnotes
.../usr/local/mailman
2
This is the default for Mailman 2.1. Earlier versions of Mailman installed
everything
under /home/mailman by default.
... set
3
BSD users should see the
15.2
section for additional information.

Hope this helps, it is what I found that sounds like what you were asking
about but, again, I've not used this software so it is my "best" guess at an
answer.

This probably won't help, but I think the only way would be to set up a
virtual private server (VPS). I have Mailmann running onn such a swever,
which is leased from a web-hosting company.

Howdy, mates!
I have to install mailman for a client on her server, but this is
where the problem is.
This one is a shared server and I do not seem to find a way about
how to install the mailman on shared server like this one, where I
can not access the root.
I’m aware about installing mailman on personal/dedicated server
environment as you have the access of all the permissions and root
files, but installing it on a shared server is something I’m not able
to do.
It’s a typical shared server where you can do simple operations from
c panel and upload the files via ftp.
in my discoveries as of now, I haven’t been able to find out a way to
install mailman on such environment.
Do you guys have an idea?
Or else, are you aware of an alternative to mailman that can work
well on shared server environment?
Basically, I need to setup the mailing list on her website to have 2
way communication amongst the list subscribers, just the same as we
guys do here.
Responses awaited.
