This is a known issue with Python 2.5.x and pre 2.1.10 Mailman. See <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-September/058469.html>. And no, it is not something you need to be concerned with. >Particularly the "raise quickexit" has be a bit worried ... is the >process that is being executed completing? Yes. This is a coding trick to implement a multi-level 'break'. Actually, that particular exception was changed to a class exception in Mailman 2.1.9, but there are other string exceptions. In Mailman 2.1.10, the warning is supressed so your logs (and cron jobs) won't be cluttered with the warning, but other than the log messages and cron emails, there is no problem that results. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
