RHBA-2008:0416 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated mailman package that fixes various bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Mailman is a program used to help manage email discussion lists.

This updated mailman package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• the init script would incorrectly return status code 0 when mailman was

run with an incorrect parameter.

• the init script caused Mailman to run in the wrong SELinux domain.
• the In-Reply-To: header did not always contain an email's Message-ID,

which could break correct email thread-handling.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated mailman package, which
resolves these issues.
