Alot of bugs? The only "bug" that I've recently seen concerned the multi-line
subject, and if I had known that Alverre had talked about it with the mj2
developers and got it fixed, I could have upgraded the code base ages ago ...

The issue with -announce, from what I was finally able to determine yesterday,
a result of the spam filter(s) ... basically, Majordomo2 was trying to pump out
23k messages through a mail server that then tried to process those 23k
messages through MAIA ... I changed the configuration yesterday so that the
outbound goes through a 'non-filtered' mail server only used for 'outbound
messages', since everything should have been checked on the inbound ...

On top of that, in order to try and speed things up a bit, I've split the
'gmail/hotmail/yahoo' addresses onto their own queues, since those three
domains account for something like 50% of the over 23k subscribers to -announce
... that way everyone else doesn't get backlogged in the queue behind them ...

What web site are you looking at? We run Majordomo2, not Majordomo1
(greatcircle) ... Majordomo1 was, as you state, dead years ago ... Majordomo2
is still actively being developed, and the developers are as responsive to
problems, well, as Tom is for PostgreSQL ...
