Summary: qrunner hung by spam

Initial Comment:
I realized no mail had gone out for 6 days, and saw
that qrunner was barfing on SOMETHING. This is with
Mailman 2.0.6. Even
though I'm behind the times, I'd bet this bug could be
in 2.1.X -- I just don't know enough Python to see
what's going on. I blew away a bunch of files in my
qfiles directory; I didn't save the bad message.

Greg, maybe you should close the bug
in addition to send another email to the mailman lists
to ask for an 2.0.14 release.
An alternative would be to make a patch release,
this bug certainly is critical for 2.0.x.
On the other hand it most likely does not affect 2.1.x.

Thanks -- I see that you fixed all of them in your patch.

This should be added to the 2.0.X series.

I also encountered that bug once at a site of a friend.
Take a look at Mailman/Bouncers/Postfix.py
and especially the line with
       boundary = msg.getparam('boundary')
this can result in boundary being "None" 
which is then not treated properly.
So add the following check below this with
the correct indentation:
        if not boundary:
                        return None


If I remember correctly this was handled completely differently
in Mailman 2.1 so I believe that this bug is limited to
Mailman 2.0.x.
