I have not. On the other hand, that patch has apparently been available for 4 years and has not yet be folded into the official GNU MailMan. Is Mailman still supported? I've been a subscriber to the GNU MailMan mailing list for a long while. Traffic is very light. One gets the idea that it is not actively maintained. Other issues with GNU MailMan: (1) Only works with Apache. Or, at least, I have only been able to get it to work with apache. That means I have to run a separate apache server just to operation MailMan, whereas the rest of SQLite and Fossil uses a non-apache solution. (2) We keep having problems with evil subscribers harvesting the email addresses of innocent posters and send them porn-spam via private email. Since the porn-spam contain the subject line of the original posting, it often makes it through spam filters. MailMan has not effective solution to this. (3) GNU MailMan is a pile of Python, spread out across many directories in magical places all over the filesystem. It is sparsely documented (that I have been able to find) and difficult to work on. For all of the above reasons, I think the time has come to abandon GNU MailMan for something better - something that I have more control over. I'm currently writing my own. But I am open to suggestions. If anyone reading this wants to call my on skype and talk me through patching GNU MailMan to get it working again, I am open to that idea too. -- D.
