[Mailman-Users] Various exceptions

[ian at locut.us]

I just installed Mailman 2.1-8 from the RH9 RPM on a machine together
with Postfix 1.1.11-11 and python 2.2.2-26.  I (eventually) got it
talking to Apache, and so the web interface is up - but it refuses to
send emails, it has sent one or two to lists but many have disappeared.

Looking at the error log I see plenty of exceptions like this:

Any ideas?
