Hello,
I posted this error last week and I haven't gotten any help with
it. A couple of quick suggestions were offered, but they didn't help.
I'm trying to make an example of open source/"Free Software" in my
company, but this failure is making a mockery of my efforts. Please help.
I can fill out the web form to subscribe, but when I try to send
in the confirmation message I get the following bounce. Notice the Python
errors in the message:

The part that I think is key are these few lines:
> 553 "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd... Unbalanced '"'
> Traceback (innermost last):
> File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/mailcmd", line 56, in ?
> main()

I believe (but am not certain) that the Python IndexError is
causing sendmail to have the "unknown mailer error 1".
This is running on a Mandrake Linux 6.1 box:
[mailman at platinum bin]$ rpm -q sendmail python mailman
sendmail-8.9.3-11mdk
python-1.5.2-1mdk
mailman-2.0beta2-1
I can offer more details about the system and my setup, but I
believe this is the most important information.
If anyone can offer troubleshooting steps, I would greatly
appreciate it. I looked in the archives but did not find any prior
messages about "IndexError".
Thank You,
