The last error is a very often in the mailman.log:
That's a misleading message. It's been improved by
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/merge_requests/1362, however
usually the underlying issue is inability to access a header or footer
template when decorating the message. This in turn is most likely caused
by some template(s) in Mailman's var/templates/ directory being owned by
root
or some other non-mailman user and not readable by the Mailman
user which in turn most likely results from running mailman import21
as root.
Bottom line - check that all sub-directories and files in Mailman's var/templates/ directory are searchable and readable by the Mailman user.
