[Mailman-Users] digests not getting sent

[Anil Jangity]

Using the Solaris python version:

{imsadmin at olida 43}% /gcs/app/mail/listsp/mailman/cron/senddigests --listname=ade
List: ade: problem processing /gcs/app/mail/listsp/mailman/lists/ade/digest.mbox:
decoding Unicode is not supported
{imsadmin at olida 44}% 

Digest mbox file:

-rw-rw----   1 imsadmin ims         2634 Jan 21 18:51 testlists/digest.mbox


{imsadmin at olida 49}% /gcs/app/mail/listsp/python2.7/bin/python /gcs/app/mail/listsp/mailman/cron/senddigests --listname=testlists
{imsadmin at olida 50}% 

The digest.mbox file is gone, nothing in logs/smtp.
This is very bad, there is no error and Mailman just deleted the mbox file. How can I debug this?

{imsadmin at olida 36}% /usr/bin/python
