This error message below is generated when the cron scheduled job gate_news is ran. Would this error happen in result that I am running mailman 1.1 and have Python1.5.1 do I need upgrade to Python 1.5.2 for this cron entry to run? I have been getting similar errors from the other mailman cron job entries to (like senddigests, nightly-gzip), since I upgraded mailman from 1.0 to 1.1. Mailman is installed on red hat 6.0 using the MTA Sendmail. What's funny is I can still receive mail messages fine from the lists and send them out if I have all of the cron jobs commented out. Once I have the cron jobs running after a while when getting error message sent to me the postmaster of mailman about the cron processes errors, I can't receive any messages from the mailman subscript lists that I have myself on. I receive usually a mailer 2 error. All of the permissions are setup correctly for mailman 1.1. If I shutdown and reboot my Linux machine then everything will work again until those cron jobs processes run for a while., then eventually I can't receive any message from the lists or if I send messages to the lists I just get error message back form mailman admin.

I really need help I have 20 production list on mailman that need to be working all the time. Do I need to upgrade to python 1.5.2? Will mailman 1.1 work with python 1.5.1 and I just need to tweak something? I am desperately seeking support here. If anyone has the answer please respond immediately.

I have not found any documentation that says mailman 1.1 will not work with python 1.5.1. If I have missed this documentation please point me to the link that explains what's needed for mailman 1.1 to work with red hat 6.0.

Is there anyway to pay for getting support for mailman being installed on a system.

Here is the error message below, sorry so long but I need help badly.
