What log files (logs) does Mailman write?

In a source install, Mailman's log files are in /usr/local/mailman/logs/ or in logs/ in the 'var_prefix' directory.

Some packages put them in /var/log/mailman/.

The logs Mailman writes are:

bounce
information related to automated bounce processing
error
information and tracebacks from unanticipated exceptions and other error info.
fromusenet
information about posts gated from USENET via the mail-news gateway
locks
information about lockfile anomalies
mischief
information about unpermitted actions such as login failures for lists with private rosters as these can be attempts to fish for list membership.
post

smtp
all Mailman's outgoing smtp sessions
smtp-failure
failed outgoing smtp transactions
