You need to rerun configure with the option

--with-python=/gcs/app/mail/listsp/python2.7/bin/python

(or wherever your Python 2.7 binary is now) in addition to the options
you originally used, and then make install.

First look at those entries with Mailman's bin/dumpdb, e.g.

bin/dumpdb -p
qfiles/bad/1327270411.424971ea345bed52b63ad4d2c02cec5964d2df915a4b43.psv

Although that probably won't work unless you either change the shebang
line at the top of bin/dumpdb to point to Python 2.7, or do it after
you reconfigure and make install or just run it with

/path/to/python2.7 bin/dumpdb -p
qfiles/bad/1327270411.424971ea345bed52b63ad4d2c02cec5964d2df915a4b43.psv

It will be best to do the reconfigure and make install first. In any
case, you must do it before the step below, or the same exception will
recur.

Then, you will see what the messages are. If they are the digests you
are looking for, mv the files to qfiles/virgin, but change the
extension from .psv to .pck.
