	This number is not found anywhere in the Mailman source code, so 
it would have to be something internal to Python, or something that 
was passed up through Python and Mailman over to sendmail.  I'll see 
if I can check the Python source code to see if this number is found 
anywhere in there, but I don't hold out much hope.

	What debugging that Mailman is capable of providing is already 
turned on by default.  You have to look in the log files to see what 
information in /usr/local/mailman/logs to see what is provided. 
Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot here, but it is usually enough 
to get another clue as to what the problem is.
