The above is not part of the problem. It is a result of using Mailman
earlier than 2.1.10 with Python 2.5.x

Your Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py module is modified from the 2.1.4 base.
The offending line is line 212 in the base, not 223.

There is something wrong with this module or perhaps there is some
other incompatiblity between Mailman 2.1.4 and Python 2.5.x. Without
seeing exactly what has been changed in Hold.py, I can't say for sure.

I recommend upgrading Mailman as a start.

The above DeprecationWarnings are also not the cause of the problem.
