I work for an organization that uses several Mailman email lists which I administer. Starting a couple weeks ago (apparently), the admin request page commands have ceased to function: messages held in the queue remain stuck there, regardless of attempts to discard, reject or accept.
It appears that your hosts with names ending in "iowashares.org" are provided by Bluehost.com. Is one of them the host where your mailing lists are served? (I'm going to assume that is true.)
Do you have "root" or "administrator" access to the host itself, with a terminal login, or do you only have access through web forms such as cPanel or Plesk? If the latter, you will absolutely have to get service from Bluehost, or move your mailing lists to another host where you have better access or get better service.
Regarding the problem itself, what version of Mailman do you have? It appears all your lists are involved. Is that true? How many messages are held in the queues?
The source of the issue is apparently on Python's end.
How do you know that? What version of Python is in use?
Unfortunately,there is no way to receive a timely response to what should be a basic inquiry (and probably something easy to fix).
Have others experienced this bug? Does anyone here know how to fix this?
Do either of the following resemble your problem? I doubt it, but they're the closest I can recall in the FAQ. The "list locked" problem seems more likely, but I don't understand why you would have that problem with all lists at the same time. Note also that the "-1" problem has been fixed in later versions than 2.1.5, and you almost certainly do have a more recent version.
