[Mailman-Users] Bug in MM v1.1: TypeError, not enough arguments

[Joe Morris]

Someone sent a worm to one of our major mailing lists.  One of the ISP's
for one of the recipients has a goofy mail setup (to put it lightly).  The
result is what appears to be a malformed email message.  Mailman is
holding it in the queue since the address does not match a subscriber (as
I have it configured to do so).

However, any and all attempts to Discard the message from the admin
interface results in...

Traceback:


Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main
    main()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 112, in main
    HandleRequests(doc)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 200, in HandleRequests
    list.HandleRequest(request, v, form[comment_key].value)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 122, in HandleRequest
    self.HandlePostRequest(request_data[2:], value, comment)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 167, in
HandlePostRequest
    self.LogMsg("vette", note)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 835, in LogMsg
    logf.write(msg % args + '\n')
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

...and here is the actual email (note the screwy from line)...

How do I get rid of this message from the queue?  I see it's in config.db,
but have not figured out a way to hack it to get rid of the garbage.
