I assume you're building Mailman 2.1.9 from downloaded source; if not, I recommend you do that, rather than using somebody else's prebuilt source. Make sure the correct python is in your PATH. If you've already built Mailman with the /opt/csw python2.3, do a make clean, rerun configure, make, and make install on Mailman. As I've said, /opt/csw is not a Solaris 10 directory, but is used by one or more of the package prebuilders. I would do an audit on what is in that directory and pkgrm anything you don't actually need on your system. Using the Solaris release sendmail and apache works well, but I'd build Python 2.4.4 and Mailman 2.1.9 from source. The default gid for sendmail is "other" and for apache is "nobody", for the Mailman configure script on Solaris 9/10.
