Good.
Is it possible that mailman-web was installed somewhere other than that virtual environment? *Not that I can find.*
I thought it was very unlikely but ... stuff happens sometimes.
You should ensure that all of the executable paths in the systemd mailman (or mailman3) and mailman-web unit files are absolute paths pointing into the venv. *This looks right to me but nothing points to /opt/mailman/venv/lib. Should there be a lib_dir parameter set in mailman.cfg?
No. That's handled by the virtual environment.
Environment="MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg" ExecStart=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start ExecReload=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman restart ExecStop=/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman stop
Those are the critical paths and all are consistent with how you have described your installation.
I really don't see anything here that explains the most recent problems. Maybe Mark does.
