Your problem is not a Mailman problem.

You will get the same problem if you run python from the command line and 
enter the Python statement "import socket".

The Python you have installed was configured to expect support for SSL.

The error is saying that a shared library that Python's socket module is 
expecting to find is not present i.e libssl.so.3.

This is probably part of the openssl package.

But being as I do not use FreeBSD I cannot help any further.
