It runs Linux, yes? Debian?

So, you have something like this:

% /sbin/runlevel
N 2
% ls /etc/rc2.d/*mailman
/etc/rc2.d/S20mailman
% ls /etc/rc2.d/*mysql
/etc/rc2.d/S50mysql

?

Rename S20mailman to S51mailman. (The only hickup is if the Debian
package decides in future to add S20mailman back in. However, I'm
pretty confident that it understands what you have done and leaves
it be.)
