[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception: 'utf8' codec can'tdecode bytes in position 1-4: invalid data

[Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes]

Thank's Mark, how could I find the bad message, I'm
worried because If I can make the list work again, I
have the risk this happens again, is there any patch
for this??. I think that this can be a potencial dos
attack to other lists on the net.
Best regards
