I've inherited a 2.1.5 mailman. In the last few days we've been blacklisted by a number of major sites. On further investigation it looks like our mailman has been compromised in some way. Emails to the request address are somehow being used to send spam. There are literally thousands of them. I've stopped the list for now. Obviously 2.1.5 is way out of date but I've looked at the changes since then and cannot see something which looks like this issue although a search for mailman request exploit brings up a number of entries which are not very detailed. Does anyone know of an exploit in 2.1.5 which allows spam to be sent via mailman in 2.1.5?

Thanks

Martin
