Hi, I want to clarify the situation.  Is this specific to debian?

Can you try these and check the email version?

$ python
Python 2.4.3 ...
 >>> import email
 >>> email.__version__
'3.0.1'
 >>> ^D
$ cd <prefix>/cron
$ python
Python 2.4.3 ...
 >>> import paths
 >>> import email
 >>> email.__version__
'2.5.7'

The email-3.0.x in Python 2.4 is not suitable for mailman.  Mailman 
2.1.8(or 9) works best with the email-2.5.7(or 8) which is the bug fix 
version of Python 2.3 library.
