Good eye!  CHARSETS has gb2312, while CODEC_MAPS has gb2132.  All looked
good as I only saw the first one.

Agreed.  I've had qrunner stop running a couple of times, which brings
my mailing lists to a crashing halt.  I've been looking at the error log
for hints about what's wrong.  Whatever can be done to make qrunner more
reliable is a plus!

I don't have any asian languages either.  I'm tempted to try spam
filtering the incoming messages.  However since the lists are for a spam
filter (bogofilter), incoming messages can say "look at this spammy
message".  

Of course, spam filtering for non-subscribers would be ideal.  I just
need to figure out where to do it.
