It's a customized Slack (which I'm not familiar with in the first place). Init scripts are in /etc/rc.d and /etc/rc.d/rc.mailman has a line PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and I get root@cool:/etc/rc.d# /usr/bin/python --version Python 2.7.5 Nothing in /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl seems to suggest it uses any other python that what the init script uses? But again, not being a Slack-jockey in the first place, if there's somewhere else to look I would miss it. Thanks again!
