You may want to try applying the patch that was described on Mailman- 
Developers (and IRC) last week.  It looks like it may fit your symptom.

Since spammers (and Russians and Japanese for that matter) regularly
put non-ASCII into headers, I have to wonder if this is due to the
header breakage.  Ie, you'd think we'd see this problem all the time.

I'm surprised we're still seeing this in 2.1.6.  :-(

If it is in fact the 8-bit content in the headers, and you're sure
that nobody you want to get mail from would ever do such a thing, you
could add "[\x80-\xFF]" to the "shoot-on-sight" portion of your spam
filtering rules.

[Mailman-Users] Administrative requests oddity

2005-07-11 Thread Mike Avery 
When spammers send junk to my lists, its caught by Mailman and it winds 
up in the administrative requests.

However, some of them put characters in the subject thats out of the 
usual ascii range.  Something like,  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And then when I try to deal with the message, Mailman gives me error 
messages.  It said,


Bug in Mailman version 2.1.6


  We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of 
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, 
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

Looking at the mailman error log, I found,

The key seems to be the line, "admin(82489): UnicodeError: ASCII 
encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)"

At this point, my work-around is to clear the administrative reque
