I'm sorry, I don't know the answers.

Sometimes when I've needed to debug Mailman, I've found it useful to
put in custom logging statements.  For example, in
/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/bounces, I'll put statements like

   print >> sys.stderr, _('KFF: reached here: %(listname)s')

Then I watch /var/lib/mailman/logs/bounces, to see which of my
statements get printed, and with what data.

It helps to know a little Python, but you don't need to know much.

Note the line

   LogStdErr('error', 'bounces')

at the top of the script.  The first part says to log standard error,
the second part says which logfile to use.  Each script has a line
like this near the top.

Hope this helps you debug,
