Actually, that's not quite right. Sorry. :) But it might still be
applicable.
The problem that I had was that both servers were running RedHat 4.2, which
had python sans the crypt module. Even though USE_CRYPT was set to 1 in
mm_cfg.py, it wouldn't work since the module wasn't there.
Once I upgraded one of the servers to RedHat 6.2 (which did have the
crypt module) Mailman started trying to use crypt() against passwords
that had previously been generated without (because USE_CRYPT was set).
Changing USE_CRYPT to 0 solved the problem (and I personally feel that
this should be the default given the problems that this can cause).
