	Hm.... Not from what I've seen. The Python smtplib was
developed on a linux box, and I've been using it with an earlier
version of mailman on the same linux box for 8 months now & I haven't seen
this one. It seems fine both on the rather mongrel linux system I use for
development, and on my Debian box.
