Some good news: with help from others, I have taken up work on
mailman-ssls again.  It's now called mailman-pgp-smime, and kept in a
Bazaar branch at
https://code.launchpad.net/~joostvb/mailman/2.1-pgp-smime .  The
project's homepage is at http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/mailman-pgp-smime/.

A patch for mailman 2.1.11 is available from
http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/pub/mailman/mailman-2.1.11-pgp-smime_2008-07-03.patch.gz
.

This patch is mostly the same as the 2.1.7 one from Jan 2006.  In the
coming months, the patch will greatly improve though.  See the file
TODO.PGP-SMIME in the patch.

Comments on the code are welcome (but you guessed that :)

Bye,

Joost
