[Mailman-Users] Issues with mailman starting.

[ogre at rpg-vault.net]

I am currently running mailman in a plesk enviroment. This is the first attempt
that I have made to use it on the system. However I noticed that it was not
working. Deeper investigation showed me that mailman was not even loading.
Checking the error logs I found that following:

Jun 05 16:23:57 2006 mailmanctl(14382): Traceback (most recent call last):
Jun 05 16:23:57 2006 mailmanctl(14382):   File "./mailmanctl", line 597, in ?

"/var/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 566, in __load
Jun 05 16:23:57 2006 mailmanctl(14382):      dict = loadfunc(fp)
Jun 05 16:23:57 2006 mailmanctl(14382): AttributeError :  'dict' object has no
attribute 'append'

Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this. I'm afraid I've
been unable to locate a reason for it.

Please let me know your thoughts.
