For some time I've been experiencing the following two problems on a few Mailman mailing-lists:
1) Messages which contain lines that start with a leading "From" are escaped to ">From" prior to being distributed to all subscribers. This damages signed message content. E.g. PGP/SMIME signatures attached to such messages no longer match the message body and verify as BAD because the subscribers receive the message with escaped lines. One of my recent messages posted to a mailing-list hosted by Red Hat suffers from that problem: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2003-September/msg00068.html The same message mailed to me directly via several servers does not contain escaped "From" lines. Therefore its signature verifies as GOOD. [The only additional change in the archive is that the quoted mail address has been obfuscated.] I understand that Mailman escapes the "From" lines in the message body before archiving the messages. But it should not distribute the modified messages. [...] 2) Occasionally, a subscriber finds that a posted message has made it to the mailing-list only truncated. It turns out that the message contained a line with only a single dot by itself. Mailman cuts off the message body at that line before distributing the truncated message to all subscribers. It looks much like the dot is treated as SMTP message body delimiter but in a non-transparent way. The users should be protected from something like that. [...] Does any of this make sense? ;) In case it doesn't, I need to look for other tools in the chain which could be responsible for the described symptoms. --
