You may want to try applying the patch that was described on Mailman- 
Developers (and IRC) last week.  It looks like it may fit your symptom.

[Mailman-Users] Administrative requests oddity

2005-07-11 Thread Mike Avery

When spammers send junk to my lists, its caught by Mailman and it winds 
up in the administrative requests.

However, some of them put characters in the subject thats out of the 
usual ascii range.  Something like,  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And then when I try to deal with the message, Mailman gives me error 
messages.  It said,

Looking at the mailman error log, I found,

Since spammers (and Russians and Japanese for that matter) regularly
put non-ASCII into headers, I have to wonder if this is due to the
header breakage.  Ie, you'd think we'd see this problem all the time.

I'm surprised we're still seeing this in 2.1.6.  :-(

Mike Does anyone have a better workaround?

If it is in fact the 8-bit content in the headers, and you're sure
that nobody you want to get mail from would ever do such a thing, you
could add [\x80-\xFF] to the shoot-on-sight portion of your spam
filtering rules.
