This is because you have or upgraded to Python 2.5 which issues the deprecation warning for string exceptions. This warning will be supressed in Mailman 2.1.10, but it is only a warning. Other than the log message, nothing has changed. >And the subscribe log is this: > >Sep 19 16:00:43 2007 (3140) cse331: pending Onur <monurergin-at-yahoo.com> >10.2.12.110 Which means the subscription is pending confirmation by the user who has been sent an email requesting confirmation. This in turn is because Privacy options...->Subscription rules->subscribe_policy is either 'Confirm' or 'Confirm and approve' >I don't remember I touched anything since it was last working fine. The other >functions are fine as far as I observe now. What can be the possible reason >for the above error? Note that Mailman is not failing. It is doing what it is configured to do. The only 'error' is the deprecation warning from Python 2.5, and that is just a warning. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
