Thank you for taking the time to reply Nick. > Odd that you took this long to upgrade mailman as mine was > upgraded to 2.1.5-r4 in February ?
I run a fairly stable x86 server and try not to 'fix' what ain't broke. I dunno. I usually run 'emerge -Davu system' and 'world' every couple of days and see if anything stands out. I also try not to update things right a way so as to let the -rN versions stabalize. There is almost always a -r1 right away ;-) There was a GLSA 3 months back on June 9th. http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200406-04.xml > what MTA are you running?
