Thanks to everyone that responded privately via email. The problem was an obscure typo in mm_cfg.py. Missing single quotes, basically. It's "obscure" because it wasn't very obvious... and I looked over everything with a fine-toothed comb, including our proxy and httpd setup!
It seems to me that Mailman could probably provide better debugging output in this scenario. I don't know Python, but at the point where the mm_cfg.py file is parsed, any syntactical errors could be reported then. ? Has anyone been bitten by this before? _F Forrest Aldrich wrote: >[ reposting as my initial message didn't hit the list, before part 2] > >I hit a bug today: > > From our link: > > >http://www.mydomain.net/thelists/admin/testing/?VARHELP=gateway/news_prefix_subject_too > >Error message: > > > We're sorry, we hit a bug! > > Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even > generate a useful traceback for you.
