The mailing lists had been working fine until Aug 19 3:38pm, when this problem appeared in the logs. Since then, a lot of messages are queuing up on the various lists ... please help!
Closer investigation revealed that only the confirmation mails from new subscribers cause this problem. If I remove them from the queue, all other pending messages go out just fine.
A search on the mailman users list solved the problem. It was an incompatibility with python, that had crept into mailman-2.0.12
Two ways to solve that - upraged to mailman-2.0.13 or upgrade python. But it turns out that python is installed in two versions on RHL 7.3, and the newer package has a binary called "python2". Renaming that to "python" was too risky, but upgrading mailman solved the problem.
