Thank you for the reply. I do regularly use yum to apply CentOS patches to the
server, and that could be a source, although after looking at the yum.log, I couldn't say
which patch might be a source of the problem. Here's the yum log back to the prior
reboot though...

I uninstalled and reinstalled python yesterday, in case that was a source of
problems, and I added the python-devel and python-tools just in case (which
required tcl/tk).
I sent a test message and it got shunted again. Here's the output of the dumpdb
for the config.pck of the list (except for the email addresses blanked) and
also the same command on one of the message pck's.
