I updated the version of Python that I have, to deal with a security update,
and one of my mailing lists died on me. I properly stopped mailman (with
`mailmanctl -q stop`), then upgraded Python. After that, I recompiled
Mailman and started it again. The rest of my mailing lists are working just
fine, its just openbsd-newbies that is broken. Searching the archives shows
several other users with similar issues, but no replies. Any attempts at
using mailman tools to poke and prod at the broken list gives me the same
errors.
OpenBSD -current, using Python and Mailman from ports. Python 2.3.4 and
Mailman 2.1.5.
