It appears that the from_is_list and dmarc_moderation_actions Wrap
Message actions may run afoul of this issue
<http://bugs.python.org/issue7970> in the Python email library in
versions older than 2.6.x where x is some number < 5. I.e. I know the
bug is fixed in Python 2.7 and 2.6.5 and not in any 2.5.x or older. I'm
not sure about 2.6.1 - 2.6.4.

I have attached a patch to Mailman/Message.py which I think will fix
this issue if you have it. You will know if you do because all outgoing
mail will be shunted with the exception "TypeError: Expected list, got
<type 'str'>" when SMTPDirect.py invokes the as_string() method on the
message object.

I think this will only occur with those older Pythons and when a Wrap
Message action is applied.

As soon as I get confirmation from the original reporter that the patch
solves the problem, I will release a fixed version.
