if the log shows nothing, I've seen this before. turns out a user had an
embedded NUL character (ascii 0), and it caused the file I/O routines to
see a premature EOF. Mailman needs to protect itself from this by
stripping weird ascii characters as the messages enter the system...

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
