System: Debian: 2.0 Mailman: 1.0b6 (compiled, not from .deb package) Inn: 1.7.2 (debian package version 1.7.2-4)
I found one bug in the Python source and one installation error:
I'm trying to set up Mailman on my system to gateway between mail and news. I found I was getting the following error in my syslog when trying to gateway mail to news:

Looks like it failed because the header that innd got was bad. Investigation revealed this bit of code from GatewayManager.py:
subj = msg.getheader('subject')
if not subj:
msg.SetHeader('Subject', '%s(no subject)' % prefix)
if self.reply_goes_to_list:
del msg['reply-to']
msg.headers.append('Reply-To: %s\n' % self.GetListEmail())
msg.headers.append('Sender: %s\n' % self.GetAdminEmail())
msg.headers.append('Errors-To: %s\n' % self.GetAdminEmail())
msg.headers.append('X-BeenThere: %s\n' % self.GetListEmail())
msg.headers.append('Newsgroups: %s\n' % self.linked_newsgroup)Looks like a new Sender: line is getting added, but the original one is not removed. I commented out this line and then things started working.
As for news to mail:
I got the following error for that:

Installed permisions on "post" were:

I did chmod 755 on post and then things started working correctly.
