Hi, I did some more work on this problem. The problem is coming because the file names cant have characters '<' & '>' on windows.
As a hack I did the following. I searched for "<site>" and changed line no 60 in MailList.py from os.path.join(mm_cfg.LOCK_DIR, name or '<site>') + '.lock', To os.path.join(mm_cfg.LOCK_DIR, name or '_site_') + '.lock', I recreated MailList.pyc after that. Newlist worked successfully after that. I have yet to test the installation. There is a possibility that I might encounter more such problems. Please let me know if what I did was OK. Does anyone have a better idea/hack to achieve the same ?
