I noticed that too when I posted the config to you. The problem probably is -
which is good in this case - that I am not an experienced python user nor
developer and the relation between the two didn't strike me.

I think I've even looked for a correlation in the original
mailman/../mailman.cfg and didn't find one.

Anyway. I will change it and see what happens.
