It would be useful to know what this mysterious Mailman problem is  
supposed to be and what leads your informant to conclude it is a bug in  
Mailman.

What are the symptoms in some detail? What is showing in your Mailman  
and MTA logs? Which MTA type is bouncing the messages and what error  
response is it returning?

What MTA and version is MM interacting with locally? Is your outbound  
SMTP server the local MTA or remote? What OS and version? What Python  
version?

It is not possible to help you with no information.

As a general comment, if this were a well known problem I think you  
might find that a lot of Mailman list admins would be bombarding this  
and the mailman-developers list with demands for a fix and maybe even  
publishing the fix. Maybe they are not doing so because they do not  
have a problem!

I'm running a server with over 450 lists which has been up and running  
MM 2.1.2 since the day the source for that version was released; that  
server started with running MM 2.0.3 and has been upgraded through  
every stable release since. I am not seeing any problem of the sort  
your limited description portrays.
