@linuxhus1,

Sounds like something you should report to the Mailman 2 mailing list. Virtualmin team doesn’t build or maintain Mailman.

[stefan1959]

[linuxhus1]

[stefan1959]

And the error is still showing 2.1.15? I don’t have VM pro so I can’t test.

Mailman is not a Pro feature, it is available to anyone in the virtualmin-mailman module.

[linuxhus1]

but what can we do ?

[stefan1959]

so you got it from here?
https://www.webmin.com/cgi-bin/search_third.cgi?cat=Virtualmin

looks way out of date

[Joe]

It’s in our repos (as all of our modules are).

[stefan1959]

Sorry, I’m a bit dumb here, how do I install it? I can’t see it in the plugin section.

[Joe]

Your OS package manager (apt on Debian/Ubuntu, yum/dnf on RHEL and derivatives). You can use the Software Packages module in Webmin if you want to do it in the GUI.

Note you need both the mailman package and the Virtualmin mailman plugin (wbm-virtualmin-mailman or webmin-virtualmin-mailman, depending on distro). It’s not used very much these days (as mailman is not used very much these days), so it doesn’t get a lot of attention from us. We fix bugs when we get good reports and see a reasonable way to fix it.
