[Mailman-Users] Messages just began to be shunted, can't figureout why.

[Gary Goldberg]

It appears to be affecting all the lists, although they are of such low volume,
that nothing else has been posted since.

I will install the latest version of python and report back, although I
understood from the download/requirements page that python 2.1.x and 2.2.x
would work. But looking at that page again, it says "as of 29-Aug-2006" so it
may very well be out of date.

Here's the error log file entry from the test message, to update the case
data...

I really appreciate your tracking this down. I'll report back asap after the
python upgrade. -Gary
