Hot on the heels of the last release, I'm announcing Mailman 2.0.10
which fixes a few minor problems. See the NEWS file entries below.
This is not a critical fix, although it will eliminate a confusing
(but harmless) error message, and could provide better support for
sites which use the qmail MTA.
As usual, I've made both full source tarballs and patches available.
See
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103
for links to download all the patches and the source tarball. If you
decide to install the patches, please do read the release notes first:

2.0.10 (09-Apr-2002)
- Closed another small race condition.
- Add the RFC-2822 recommended Message-ID: header on internally
generated outgoing messages. Not all MTAs add this field if
missing (read: Qmail).
This message is to announce the release of GNU Mailman 2.0.9 which
fixes a race condition that can cause mail to occasionally be lost,
among other useful fixes. I recommend anybody running any version of
Mailman 2.0.x to upgrade to 2.0.9, the latest stable release. Details
of what's changed is included below.
Note that this problem does not affect the Mailman 2.1 betas.

2.0.9 (02-Apr-2002)
- Closed a race condition which could, under rare circumstances,
cause the occasional message to get lost.
- HTML escape message excerpts and headers on the admindb page so
JavaScript and other evil tags can't mess up the display.
- Some additional Python 2.2 compatibility fixes.
- Unlink the footer logos so as not to bug the python.org and
gnu.org maintainers as much. :(
- Fix a crash in the DSN bounce detection module, which could
cause some bounce messages to remain in the queue.
- Add the RFC-2822 mandated Date: header on internally generated
outgoing messages. Not all MTAs add this field if missing
(read: Qmail).
