Summary: qmail-to-mailman.py & README.QMAIL diff

Initial Comment:
contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py and README.QMAIL differ.

a) contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py says:
# To configure a virtual domain to connect to 
mailman, create these files:
#
# ~mailman/.qmail-default
# |preline /usr/bin/python /home/mailman/mail-in.py

This should be EITHER:
# |preline /path/to/python 
/path/to/qmail-to-mailman.py

OR (not sure about preline!!)
# |/path/to/python /path/to/qmail-to-mailman.py

The real question: To preline or not to preline?

preline!  You need preline, if you do not have it, then your mbox archives will be broken and hypermail will not archive.  preline inserts an mbox-style From line at the head of the message, and hypermail depends on it.  See "Q. Still having problems? Running QMail?" in the mailman FAQ.  README.QMAIL needs to be fixed.  It fooled me...  Anyone who is successfully running this without preline apparently has never noticed that they have no hypermail archives!

I don't know anything about qmail, so if there are changes
to be made against the MM2.1cvs tree, please attach diffs. 
In the meantime, I'm closing this bug.

Not to preline. 
Running mailman and qmail-to-mailman.py for ages without preline and without problems.

According to the instructions that apply if you DON'T use qmail-to-mailman.py,
I'd say the opposite: You need preline.

http://www.qmail.org/man/man1/preline.html

I think the info on the manpage should be enough to decide
wether or not you need preline... (ie does mailman need the
extra headers generated by preline?)
As far was I can see we don't need preline...
