List of known bugs
------------------
* For some reason the UUCP-transports 'sendmail' and 'smail' can't process
more than 3 or 4 recipients per article. On a mailing-list there are
usually more than 3 subscribers. This has been fixed (temporarily) as
follows:
In the Resources.Messages file the variable MaxBcc: defines the
maximum number of recipients per message. MailList will distribute a
message/digest to the subscribers by creating several copies of a
message. Each copy is sent to no more than the specified number of
recipients in MaxBcc: By default this is set to 3~5 and seems to
work. You may change this value by experimentation. But please note
that your subscribers may notice your experiments and complain ;-)
Ofcourse this solution means that a larger amount of files will be created
for the queue. This may be reflected in your phone-bill.
* The UUCP-transport adds a second Sender: header to each message. At the
moment the cause seems to be a bug in smail. It shouldn't be a big problem
though.
* When you have a mailing-list defined as MODERATOR then the KA9Q transport
behaves extremely "Twilight Zone"-like. The approval-requests to the
list-owner are duplicated during transport. Investigation into this
problem is pending.
* In some instances the KA9Q transport will distribute articles to the
addresses in the Bcc: list seperately, while in other instances the
article is sent once via SMTP and directed to all addresses in the list.
Investigation into this problem is pending.
