	Redhat is b0rken.

	If you had searched the archives of the mailing list, you would 
have quickly found 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-June/029911.html>.

	If you had searched the Redhat buglists, you would have quickly 
found 
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=88083> and 
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=89695>, 
both of which reference 
<http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-179.html>.


	You can either apply the updated RPMs (which appear to be based 
on version 2.1.1), or you can install Mailman from the source code, 
according to the instructions provided.
