The (failing) parsing of messages with malformed mime multiparts sometimes caused the whole mailing list to become inoperative. The old stable distribution (woody) is not vulnerable to this issue. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.5-8sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your mailman package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
