As I have posted before, I looked at the Debian packaging for
Mailman, and I found there are lots of patches (most undocumented
as to what they do).  There was one patch that removed a library
that may be needed.  And one security of three I researched had
different code in Debian/Ubuntu than in SourceForge.  I assume that
the Debian/Ubuntu patch that differed fixed the security problem,
but I can not be sure.  After following the discussions on
mailman-users where users were running non-SourceForge code, I decided
that I had to take the SourceForge code and build a Mailman package.
It took me a while to discover exactly what to do, but once I did it
(IIRC for 2.1.9), I have had no trouble building packages for 10
through 14.  I can send my steps to anyone who wants them.  My Mailman
machines are still Ubuntu/dapper, but I assume that my steps would work
unchanged on any later release of Debian/Ubuntu.

The XSS patch, per 2010-September's announcement, seems to now be in
Debian's repositories:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mailman-hackers/2010-October/003360.html
(et. seq.)

[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.14 new features

2010-10-15 Thread Alessandro Bruchi
Does mailman 2.1.14 solve the virtual domain problem? 
In particular the ability to create:

l...@domain1
l...@domain2

I read that the new version support virtual domains.
Do you know when mailman 2.1.14 will be included as package in some debian 
distribution?

Thank you
Alessandro

No.

That support is in MM 3. It is not yet ready for production use.

No.
