[OT] mails with exclamation marks + mailman security flaw

[Amedee Van Gasse]

Please people... don't put so many exclamation marks in your mail
subjects. It triggers my bounce filter.

Postfix config:
/^Subject:.*!!.*/ REJECT To many exclamation marks. You give me a
migraine. Go Away.

mail.log:
May 23 14:12:02 localhost postfix/cleanup[19013]: 7AFE65A177: reject:
header Subject: Re: [!!] Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk from

proto=ESMTP helo=<chlorine.canonical.com>: 5.7.1 To many exclamation
marks. You give me a migraine. Go Away.

Also, why does Canonical store the mailing list passwords in plain text? I
use lots of different passwords so it's not a big security problem for me.
But I still find this one of the biggest WTFs in the Mailman software.

I might even file a bug report. Or add to the already existing bug report:
