Actually John, I think this is a real bug in 1.62. The original code in the
do_which subroutine looks like:
$list = $_;
if ((-e "$listdir/$list.private")
&& (! &is_list_member($reply_to, $listdir, $clean_list))) {
# skip private lists that the requestor isn't a member of
next;
}
Where you can see that the "$clean_list" argument to is_list_member is bogus
(undef). I had to patch mine to look like:
$list = $_;
if ((-e "$listdir/$list.private")
&& (! &is_list_member($reply_to, $listdir, $list))) {
# skip private lists that the requestor isn't a member of
next;
}
Then it worked. Correct me if I've missed something, but I had to patch mine.
I would have reported the bug when I found it, but with the release of 1.90,
I figured that was pointless (aparently I was wrong :-).
