[Mailman-Users] Bounce error hangs Mailman

Sun Nov 4 09:19:02 CET 2001

I just discovered a show-stopper for Mailman 2.0.6:

A user on one of my lists suddenly started bouncing messages.  The bounce causes qrunner to die
when it gets to that message, and stops processing files after that.  Here's the python errors:

Nov 04 02:56:01 2001 qrunner(2605): Traceback (most recent call last):

And here's an example of a bounce coming from the offending user:

This was a bomb that kept me up till the wee hours tracing down.  I looked through the bug reports,
found something similar, but there was no fix!  Yikes!  This needs fixing asap!
