First of all Happy 2002 Well the new list server went online this morning and all went well at 2 AM when it sent out 63 from my perl script, but things were a bit weird at 5 AM when it sent out about 700 password reminders for all of the list. First thing I noticed was that all of the bounces were for one list, second thing that was weird is that there were 84 bounces on a list that only had 64 members. I do know where the bounces came from but they were not the list that the /home/mailman/log/bounce reported. Is this a bug?

RELEASE Mailman 2.0.8

Hot on the heels of Mailman 2.0.7, I'm now releasing 2.0.8 which fixes several cross-site scripting security holes, and a few other minor bug fixes. More information on cross-site scripting exploits in general can be found at http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html I recommend anybody running a version of Mailman up to, and including 2.0.7 to upgrade to version 2.0.8. I've made both full source tarballs and patches available. Actually, patches going all the way back to 2.0 are now available on SourceForge. 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: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=63042 Currently the SourceForge and www.list.org sites are up-to-date, and I expect the gnu.org site to be updated soon. See also: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman http://www.list.org http://mailman.sf.net I've also included links on the FAQ page to the Mailman FAQ wizard. Thanks everybody for contributing good entries! (I may do some reorg when I get a chance.) See the FAQ wizard at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Cheers, -Barry -------------------- snip snip -------------------- 2.0.8 (27-Nov-2001) Security fix release to prevent cross-site scripting exploits. See http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html for a description of the general problem (not Mailman specific).
