[Mailman-Users] Mailman breakdown

[Aaron La Mar]

I've been using Mailman 1.1 with Python 1.5.2 on FreeBSD 3.1 for several
months now with no problems, but today no Mailman functions seem to be
working. I haven't made any changes to the system, and would greatly
appreciate any advice.

I'm getting the following message from the cron daemon constantly:

Subject: Cron <mailman at access> /usr/local/bin/python
    /usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 119, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/local/mailman/cron/gate_news", line 58, in main
    mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 62, in __init__
    self.Load()
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 817, in Load
    raise Errors.MMBadListError, ('Failed to unmarshal config info: '
TypeError: __add__ nor __radd__ defined for these operands

And the following error every time a Mailman web page is hit:

Bug in Mailman version 1.1

We're sorry, we hit a bug!
