There is an easy answer to this, that we discussed on this list over a
year ago - just bring mailman up to a more recent revision. It can handle
DMARC re-writing just fine.


My understanding is that we are using Mailman 2.1.15.  Mailman 2.1.20 and
3.0.0 are available.  We have not asked the Secretariat to reviewed every
change, but I am told that they are comfortable that Mailman 2.1.20 is
fine.  We have not looked at Mailman 3.0.0 at all.

Versions of Mailman beyond 2.1.15 have no capacity for sending out
password reminders; it was removed.  Brian, you have loudly argued for this
capability to be retained.

It seems to me that DMARC re-writing is a more important feature for this
community.  I think we should drop support for the password messages and
move to a newer version.  I'd like the tools team to check this out, and
then if the newer version will not introduce other surprises, move to the
newer version.
