Hi all,
Mailman 2.1.8rc1 was released for the final test of 2.1.8.
Important: This is not only a release candidate but also include a fix for a cross-site scripting bug found in 2.1.7. All sites running previous versions are adviced to upgrade to 2.1.8(rc1). I am going to release the final by the next weekend if nothing serious happens.
Please download it from Sourceforge file area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103
Cheers,
Tokio

- A cross-site scripting hole in the private archive script of 2.1.7

- Bouncers support added: 'unknown user', Microsoft SMTPSVC, Prodigy.net and several others.
- Updated email library to 2.5.7 which will encode payload into qp/base64 upon setting. This enabled backing out the scrubber related patches including 'X-Mailman-Scrubbed' header in 2.1.7.
- Fix SpamDetect.py potential hold/reject loop problem.
- A warning message from email package to the stderr can cause error
in Logging because stderr may be detached from the process during

the logs/error if the process is running under mailmanctl subprocess.

-owner messages too.
