Yes, it would be best if Mailman developers fix their generic : in their next release if they want to. (If they don't I'd appreciate : if you patch it for FreeBSD later though). I haven't contacted the : Mailman developers [yet]: As the designated MAINTAINER= in Makefile, I : thought I'd funnel it through you first (but send-pr it too, as it : literaly killed all my server net connectivity). Should I contact : Mailman developers or will you ? (I'd prefer you to, if willing ? :-) Responsible Changed From-To: wjv->nork I'll handle this. State Changed From-To: open->closed Maybe fixed. |
