Hello,

I run Mailman 2.1.2. I can create lists, subscribe / unsubscribe and send messages to my lists. Also everything else (which I have tested) seems to work fine.

But in verbose mode I receive during the startup (mailmanctl start) and during a mailmanctl stop messages like the following:

# clear __builtin__._ Logging error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Logging/MultiLogger.py", line 43, in write logger.write(msg) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py", line 73, in write Logger.write(self, "%s %s" % (prefix, msg)) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 88, in write msg = unicode(msg, self.__encoding) SystemError: codec module not properly initialized Original log message: # clear __builtin__._

Only the lines 43, 73 and 88 of MultiLogger.py are affected, nothing else. Augur this "Loggin errors" something bad? The loggin seems to work well anyway.

I receive this messages only in verbose mode. There are no straying entries in /home/mailman/locks.

I wondering, if I should bring this mailman installation into production?
