Did you also add the lines:

from email.Utils import formataddr

from Mailman.Logging.Syslog import syslog
from Mailman.Handlers.CookHeaders import uheader

(the syslog line is not required if you didn't add the

        syslog('post', 'post to %s from %s anonymized',
               mlist.internal_name(), msg.get('from'))

lines.)

Did you pay attention to the indentation of the lines you added? They
should be indented the same 8 spaces as the surrounding lines.
Indentation counts in Python.

You will find specific error traces in Mailman's error log and probably
the messages have been shunted (placed in Mailman's qfiles/shunt/
queue).

Once you have corrected Cleanse.py, you can restart Mailman again and
run bin/unshunt to reprocess the shunted messages, but first make sure
there are no old, unwanted messages in the shunt/ queue.
