Are we doing something wrong?
Thanks, Hunter
So, reading the FAQ (should have done that first), it looks like it is a Python version problem. We are on 2.2.
I'm still doing my reading but I don't think there is a later version of Python for my system (RHEL2).

Yup. Python 2.3 is required for Mailman 2.1.5.I'm still doing my reading but I don't think there is a later version of Python for my system (RHEL2).
I would be surprised if RPMs for Python 2.3 are not available, but you could always choose to build from source. Or, you could build your own packages and then install them.

If I install 2.3, is there an easy way to get Mailman to use that instead of an older Python2 version?

I think that depends on how you install it. If you install it over the existing Python 2.2 installation, that should work. Alternatively, if you stop Mailman, de-install Python 2.2, then install Python 2.3, that should also work.
Otherwise, you're likely to have to play some interesting games with alternative directories, unusual paths, perhaps some symbolic links, and who knows what else.

FYI for the list:
- Downloaded Python 2.3 tgz.
- Configured with alternate prefix (/usr/local/python2.3)
- Built 2.3
- Reconfigured mailman 2.1.5 with new python binary location.
- Recompiled mailman.
Mailman was off during this procedure.
Seems to be working fine.
