I installed the original Debian Mailman 2.1.4 .deb, so I don't 
understand, why there seem to be missing files!?!?

Mailman worked over a year without problems on the same maschine with 
Debiab unstable for over a year, but I had to renew the installation! 
;-((( All services work, only Mailman has problems!

I use the old mm_cfg.py, can there be a problem with the paths? There 
doesn't seem to be any path related variables!?

And where do the scripts search for the template files? I'm not able to 
find them! :-(((

Thnx a lot in advance for your help!
