Right now, some of the lists apply the custom header, and just a few (but more than one), do NOT.  I don't think that should even be possible, but it certainly is happening.

What is your change to CookHeaders? I.e., I would need to see the exact
change to know whether it is somewhere that is conditionally executed
based on list settings.

Is either include_rfc2369_headers or include_list_post_header set to No
for the affected lists (those that don't apply the header)?

Do the affected lists have a lists/LISTNAME/extend.py file or a
'pipeline' attribute?

/usr/lib/mailman/bin/dumpdb /var/lib/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck \
| grep pipeline


>Additional information:  About a month ago, the custom header disappeared completely from everywhere, and when I looked at the files somehow CookHeaders.py had been reverted to an earlier state that did not contain my changes.


yum probably 'upgraded' Mailman.

Do you mean /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl restart?


Everything worked just fine on ALL lists for a couple of weeks, and
then this strange problem came up.  I've checked CookHeaders.py, and
it contains the desired changes.  I've since run /bin/restart and
/bin/stop with /bin/start, but the problem persists.


If you don't mean 'mailmanctl {stop|start|restart}, what are these
things.

In any case, if you didn't restart Mailman after your changes, no lists
would have your change.
