Mailman 2.1.11 is not compatible with Python 2.6. Most of the errors are deprecation warnings similar to those above and also involving hashlib. You'll probably find lots more in Mailman's error log. There are however more serious problems involving string exceptions and also incompatibilites in the email package. I'm surprised it works at all, unless this is a package that doesn't install email 2.5.8 in Mailman's pythonlib. >I wonder about the last one.

Does Mailman perhaps simply not support ISO 8859-15? Mailman supports any character set supported by the underlying Python and should not have any problems with iso-8859-15, The error message you get from senddigests is not too informative. All it says is that something in the send digest processing for the jdtest list threw an exception and the error message from the exception was 'iso-8859-15'. Thus it's pretty hard to diagnose, but you need to address the Python incompatibility first anyway, and that may solve the other problem. If you installed from source, you can rerun configure with --with-python pointing to a Python 2.4 or 2.5 and make install, or you can get the current 2.1 branch from Launchpad (bzr branch lp:mailman/stable) which is Python 2.6 compatible and install that (there will be a 2.1.12 release soon). If you installed from a package and don't want to upgrade to the latest 2.1 source from Launchpad, you will have to do whatever is necessary to make your package use an older Python. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
