[Mailman-Developers] Error with OpenBSD 2.9

[Lalo Castro]

Hello,
        I am using an OpenBSD2.9 server with Mailman 2.0.6 and Python
1.5.2.  Recently our main server was infected and this OpenBSD machine
designated as the replacement for the mailman functions of the previous
server.  The install of Mailman, python, and OpenBSD are all fresh.
Unfortunately, the transition from RH 6.0 to OpenBSD did not go as
smoothly as thought.  The Mailman administrator screen produces a "bug
found" screen when the submit button is pressed.  When we return to the
administration screen and reload, the mail is designated as lost.  All
authentication and mails are proceeding as it should be.  It is merely
the deferred mails requiring administrative attention that produces an
error.   Has anyone encountered this before?  If anyone has information
that can help, please let me know.  The error log follows.
            Thanks,
                    Lalo Castro
