"raising a string exception is deprecated"?
I just upgraded to Fedora 8, which includes Python 2.5.1, and started noticing this error cropping up:
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:512: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated raise quickexit
Is this something I should be concerned with?
Particularly the "raise quickexit" has be a bit worried ... is the process that is being executed completing?
The above message was encountered when the checkdbs cronjob was running.

This is a known issue with Python 2.5.x and pre 2.1.10 Mailman. See <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-September/058469.html>.
And no, it is not something you need to be concerned with.

Yes. This is a coding trick to implement a multi-level 'break'. Actually, that particular exception was changed to a class exception in Mailman 2.1.9, but there are other string exceptions.
In Mailman 2.1.10, the warning is supressed so your logs (and cron jobs) won't be cluttered with the warning, but other than the log messages and cron emails, there is no problem that results.
