It is the first day of the month and one open-source mailing list manager package insists on sending password(s) (why do you need a password for a mailing list?) via un-encrypted email. What package is that? Why Mailman, the GNU Mailing List manage. How about has a New Years Resolution everybody who installs this package TURN OFF this feature. Look in the general options for this feature that should be off by default. Me, I'll stick to using ezmlm, it just works.
In other smtp news, is the postfix author becoming more like the person the postfix users most hate?

I guess Wietse must be feeling the pressure of still not having a finished smtpd server. ;)
