[Mailman-Users] Errors on mailman startup

[Dave Filchak]

Well .. I have ran through most of the FAQs and the debugging techniques 
listed in them and all SEEMS like it is functioning correctly. I have 
also upgraded Mailman to 2.1.8 from 2.1.6 and I still have the exact 
same problem. After upgrading, I didn't run the debugging stuff again so 
I will try it again but I honestly do not think that it will help me.
