[Mailman-Users] "ordinal not in range" shunted messages?

[David R Bosso]

I'm getting a lot of shunted messages that leave the following in the error 
log:

This is with version 2.1.6.  Some are spam/junk, but I've got 2 now sourced 
from yahoo that appear legitimate.

Any ideas?  I can provide a sample message privately if someone wants to 
check it out.

Thanks!
