Neither of those relates to the command you gave. The first is from the
'owner' script and the second is from the 'bounces' script.

Was there anything in the vette log?

If the post script invoked by

  python /u001/mailman/scripts/post mailman </dev/null

had issued the 'list not found' error, it would have been issued to the
terminal, so that indicates it didn't encounter that error.

This in turn indicates the wrapper that invokes the post, etc. scripts
is not invoking those in /u001/mailman/scripts/. This could mean that
/u001/mailman/mail/mailman was compiled with a different path (strings
/u001/mailman/mail/mailman might reveal this), or it could mean you
are running sendmail with smrsh, and the 'mailman' link in the smrsh
file (/var/adm/sm.bin, or where ever it happens to reside on your
system - alternatives include /etc/smrsh, /var/smrsh and
/usr/local/smrsh.) points to a different wrapper entirely.
