For older releases you can add
[runner.nntp] start: noto mailman.cfg
Following this advice, I reverted the change I made to
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mailman/utilities/modules.py
Then I believe I implemented Mark's suggestion
root@server~# diff /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg~ /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg 312c312,318 < jump_chain: hold \ No newline at end of file
jump_chain: hold
## dont't start nntp because library is missing
[runner.nntp] start: no
ok, but
