No. The address which is the problem is the sender address of the post
that is being held. Mailman is attempting to notify the poster that her
post is being held for moderation and the poster's address appears to be
invalid. This is normally the address in the From: header of the post,
but can be another address depending on the message itself and the
[mailman] -> sender_headers configuration.

The debug information is the traceback from the 'error' log which you
post above. I'm not completely sure about MM 3, but in MM 2.1 in order
to write anything to a debug log, you actually have to insert the
logging calls in the code.

Questions about Mailman 3 are better posted to the
mailman-developers at python.org list
<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers>. Please
join that list if you are not already a member and post there.
