(Is this the right place to report bugs ?)

The preferred way of reporting is to use the Mailman Jitterbug interface at <URL:http://www.python.org/mailman-bugs/>.

One of the lists on my system received a bounce with an empty body, but with Content-Type: multipart/report. When Mailman tried to parse it it got an exception because it couldn't find the message boundary.

Here's a quick patch: Index: Bouncer.py =================================================================== RCS file: /export/public/cvsroot/mailman/Mailman/Bouncer.py,v retrieving revision 1.32 diff -u -r1.32 Bouncer.py --- Bouncer.py 1999/03/10 13:10:14 1.32 +++ Bouncer.py 1999/06/16 18:22:21 @@ -332,7 +332,12 @@ '"[^"]+"')[1][1:-1] if boundry: - relevant_text = string.split(msg.body, '--%s' % boundry)[1] + relevant_text = string.split(msg.body, '--%s' % boundry) + # Invalid MIME messages shouldn't cause exceptions + if len(relevant_text) >= 2: + relevant_text = relevant_text[1] + else: + relevant_text = relevant_text[0] else: # This looks strange, but at least 2 are going to be no-ops. relevant_text = regsub.split(msg.body, -- Harald
