Hello lists,

as you can see above the Subject: is messed up, it should be

  smtp.c: if whitespace after setfrom=, addr of smtp_auth_var
  is NULL and segfaults on strlen(addr)

The problem imho is GNU mailman, i've seen this is in the past.
There is an incomplete changeset on the [crawl] branch of S-nail,
which' final version in v14.8 (presumably late spring 2015) will
get around this Python bug.

I.e., what happens is that the `smtp_auth_var' is embedded into
a =?..?= MIME construct and the i think Python software falsely
strips away surrounding whitespace.  This is a bug.
The problem with S-nail is that it uses the =?..?= construct at
all, since the entire line is plain ASCII and could be send over
the wire as is.  (The underscore is a trigger character, which is
perfectly fine, but it shouldn't actually be the **cause** of
switching from plain text to MIME encoding by itself.  This
behaviour will be addressed in a later version.)
Thanks and Ciao,
