Essentially, you're going to do "printf" debugging. I.e. stick in some "printf"'s and figure out where things are going wrong.
The way to spell "printf" for Mailman is
# at the top of the file, if it's not already there from Mailman.Logging.Syslog import syslog
# where you want to stick the "printf" syslog('debug', 'we got to here')
You'll probably want to start with MailCommandHandler.py.
In a separate window, run "tail -f $prefix/log/debug" and then send your email command.
