I also found a *fatal* error in Tagger.py at line 74:

May 01 10:50:39 2014 (17899) Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 119, in _oneloop
    self._onefile(msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 190, in _onefile
    keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in _dispose
    more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in _dopipeline
    sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Tagger.py", line 74, in process
    mlist, msg, msgdata, Delete=False)
TypeError: change_header() got an unexpected keyword argument 'Delete'

I deleted the ', Delete=False' from the change_header parameter list and
removed Tagger.pyc and Tagger.pyo (forcing the use of the uncompiled code) as
a short term temp fix (so that mail will go through). I *presume* that this is
fixed in 2.1.18 and when that comes out (I understand it is due out "Real Soon
Now"(tm)).
