[Mailman-Users] fixing shunted messages

[Patrick Okui]

Hi all,

I'm running the mailman that ships with opensuse 11.2 - running /usr/ 
lib/mailman/bin/version gives:

Using Mailman version: 2.1.11

I have lots of email to my mailing lists stuck in the shunt queue (and  
no, they aren't delivered). According to http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030704 
  and searches of the archives, it is to do with mailman not managing  
to run one of the processes on the email.

The tracebacks for these emails follows - could someone give me a clue  
on why the queue runner and the archiver claim the messages have no  
"get_type" ?

Running unshunt doesn't deliver the messages, it just logs more such  
tracebacks.
