to use newlist, and it completed successfully! However, when I attempt
to connect to the Admin page (http://localhost/mailman/admin.exe) it

This does expose a DOS attack potential for MM lists. The too long

Without mailman, the users could find/search for content using their mail

Hi Michael,
You can set Scrubber.py not to use the orginal filename in the message
by adding followin line in mm_cfg.py (mailman-2.1.6 and above).

Developers,
May be we should set this default in Defaults.py.in in the next release
of 2.1.7.
