Earlier today, for various reasons, we had to move our Mailman server to
a different segment of our network. This changed the internal IP, and
several other network details (although I don't think any others that
impact mailman). Starting just after I made the move, I am not getting
a large number of error messages in the error log that look like this:

boundary and no trailing empty line

Mail appears to be going through, but since these messages are new, they
make me nervous that I missed something in the move. I reconfigured
exim and Mailman and replaced all references to the old IP with the new.
All the other functions appear to be working. Any suggestions about
what's going on, and if a I need to be worried?
Thanks
