That should have been "*no* digest subscribers" - sorry.

Now I'm confused.  Why do you think I am using Python 2.6?

I am actually using Python 2.4.5 (installed using the Slackware 11.0
Python package):

And yes, there are quite a few of those warnings in the error log.
Mailman seems to work in general, but I haven't tried digests - which
probably do not work, given the error message.

But everything I've read seems to indicate that Python 2.4.5 should be
fine for Mailman.

I've installed Mailman straight from the 2.1.11 distribution, except for
a Postfix VERP patch and some file rights changes to make it run with
suexec.

It runs on a Slackware 11.0 Linux with some packages upgraded from
source or from Slackware upgrades.  The kernel is Linux 2.6.26.2.
