Better to use the script $prefix/bin/rmlist -a

This looks as though, probably in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py unless you 
edited Defaults.py which you should not do, the following assignment is 
present:

MTA = 'None'

This should read as follows (note the lack of quote marks) because None 
is a reserved word with special significance in the Python language:

MTA = None
