If the post script is working fine, do you know what else could be the
problem? When I run 
python /u001/mailman/scripts/post mailman </dev/null then   
sudo -u mail /u001/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman </dev/null

I am getting errors for the bounce and mailowner scripts in the
/var/log/mailman/error file 
Jun 06 14:26:33 2008 mailowner(874): mailowner script, list not found:

Right. This says you successfully delivered a null message to Mailman
via the /u001/mailman/scripts/post script which in turn says that that
post script works for your installation.

This error occurs because when you run the wrapper manually, you have
to run it as the expected group. My bad - I neglected to say that. Try

  sudo -u mail /u001/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman </dev/null

I don't know what changes you've made, but

1. you should never change Defaults.py. Override Defaults.py settingn
in mm_cfg.py which will not be overwritten by configure - make install.

2. if you make changes to Mailman modules, etc. keep all the changes in
a master patch file that can just be applied to redo the changes.
