[Mailman-Users] Empty module name again

[Brian Wilson]

One of my lists just up and quit on me;
looks like the problem described here

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2004-February/016511.html

I run about 20 other lists and the only one affected is the one that is
set to work in French. All the others are just fine. On June 1, mailman
stopped delivering mail on the French list. Nothing that I know of was
changed on the system. This one list just stopped delivering mail.  I
can see the MTA invoke the 'post' script and I can see the message end
up in the qfiles/shunt directory.

See trace below,,,

Currently I have mailman 2.1.5 running under python 2.3.4 and RH9 Linux
MTA is sendmail 8.12.11, webserver is Apache 2.0.40

Things I've tried already:
0. Ran check_perms.
1. Installed scrubber patch 2.1.4 and reinstalled (as per the related
     URL above)
2. Upgraded Python from RH RPM version 2.2.2 to source compiled version 2.3.4
3. Upgraded from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 and reinstalled
4. Installed scrubber patch in 2.1.5 again and reinstalled again.

Through all this the other 20 lists apparently continue to function fine.

Here is the trace from the logs/errors

Searching for the listname (vph) in logs/post shows last message was June 1.

Thanks for any suggestions for more things I can try.
