[Mailman-Users] Re: AOL issue

[Ed]

We have had significant issues with AOL's new "filters".  These filters 
also seem to attack certain MIME configurations.  While we haven't had 
significant issues with Mailman per se, we have had with our web log 
reporting engine which builds all those lovely charts and graphs into a 
MIME encoded message which is large.  I'd be looking at those AOL filters 
as the culprit.

To fix Mailman you can probably strip MIME encoding from the messages and 
resolve the issue...  for now, until AOL adds some other moronic feature.
