[Mailman-Users] Sudden Delivery errors

[David Smead]

Saille,

In the first case, it looks like Python can't find the module rfc822.  Did
it go away, or get permissions changed?

The second case isn't quite so clear but it looks like it tried to unlink
a file that didn't exist - and wasn't very graceful about it.

I'd bet some permissions have been changed somewhere.

Sincerely,

David Smead
