[BlueOnyx:19467] Mailman has died!

[Colin Jack]

Different server – different problem. :)

New 5209R VPS and 

"The Mailman service is NOT operating normally. Please try to manually restart it."

No matter what I do it won’t start.

/var/log/maillman/error:

0:50:01 2016 gate_news(31048): Traceback (most recent call last):
