It would help if you actually provided the content of the .rej files.
Also, Are you really patching 2.1.8 or did you mean 2.1.18?

The 2.1.7-0.1.patch file I'm looking at which is the patch also for
2.1.8 is trying to replace
mailbox.PortableUnixMailbox.__init__(self, fp, _archfactory(self))
with
mailbox.UnixMailbox.__init__(self, fp, _archfactory(self))
and add a bunch of stuff following the definition of scrub. It looks OK
to me. Without seeing Mailman/Mailbox.py.rej and maybe
Mailman/Mailbox.py and/or Mailman/Mailbox.py.orig, I can't tell you what
the problem is.

This is almost certainly because your existing Mailman/Version.py file
has Mailman/Version.py has DATA_FILE_VERSION = some number different
from what the patch expects.
All you need to do is manually edit Mailman/Version.py and set
DATA_FILE_VERSION = a number bigger than what it currently is, perhaps
by appending '.1' to the existing number if it's an integer or
incrementing the number if it's a decimal.

Did you change the
-DATA_FILE_VERSION =
line to match what's currently in the file and the
+DATA_FILE_VERSION =
line to a larger number?
