If the idea requires more than a dozenish lines of code, then I agree it's not worth doing. "redesigning" - indeed no thanks. > The problem that we're seeing is caused by a script that I wrote to > migrate ezmlm to mailman. The fix for the problem is "Don't run > that script". Yeah, but that is the official mailman2 method for this. Spam/malware that gets through can sit in multiple locations unless we clean it out in the proper thorough manner, through the entire pipeline (which starts with the mbox files). Not super keen on building much complexity that operates on all the intermediate results and html files. - FChE
