[Mailman-Developers] Bug in mailman 2.1.3

[Jon Scott Stevens]

Hello everyone.

I just got the stack trace below from one of my list admins...not sure how
he screwed things up...but I figured I would let you know...based on the
traceback, it seems that he somehow got a strange character into the list of
members...

[share] 3:16pm ~ > ./bin/check_db -v sfindie-fence
List: sfindie-fence
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/sfindie-fence/config.pck: okay
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/sfindie-fence/config.pck.last: okay
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/sfindie-fence/config.db: okay
   /usr/local/mailman/lists/sfindie-fence/config.db.last: okay

[share] 3:17pm ~ > ./bin/list_members -u sfindie-fence
            [no output]
[share] 3:18pm ~ > ./bin/list_members -i sfindie-fence
Êknights_bishop at yahoo.com
[share] 3:18pm ~ > ./bin/list_members -i sfindie-fence > bad.txt
[share] 3:19pm ~ > ./bin/remove_members -f bad.txt sfindie-fence

Yup...removing that address solved the problem.

Note: this list admin only has access to the web interface. So, somehow he
was able to send corrupt data to the server which caused this problem.
Probably not a good thing. =)
