[Mailman-Users] Sudden error

[miket at scitechsoft.com]

The ~/mailman/logs/error file is too big because the data:

Oct 30 08:10:00 2001 (11866) Delivery exception: not enough 
arguments for format string
Oct 30 08:10:00 2001 (11866) Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 82, 
in do_pipeline
    func(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py", line 41, in 
process
    footer = string.replace(mlist.msg_footer % d, '\r\n', '\n')
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

Is being written to the file several times a second.

Reference the first note I have changed code and received a different 
error.
