Hello,
My name is Isaac Dawson and I work for a security auditing company. When working on a client who uses your mailman program, I noticed any un-authenticated user can spill the environment variables of the host. 
Case and Point: http://mailman.list.org/mailman/edithtml
This may not seem like much, but it will give an attacker much more information about what is installed, the path, and the OS. I will be submitting this bug to securityfocus.com but only after I notify you. Please respond ASAP!
Thank you,
Isaac Dawson
