Summary

Note

At the time that this is sent out, the IRC logs will be incomplete. This is because Secretary bot appears to have started having problems staying connected to OFTC. This isn't too big of a deal as I have client logging enabled, and will patch the logs with the missing content after sending these minutes out.

ITEM: Mailing list issues
Apparently we had another issue with emails not getting delivered after being
sent to a bunch of different mailing lists. The problem stems from the fact
that by default, mailman doesn't allow emails through with more then 10
recepients. We've since fixed this, and updated the default on most mailing
lists to 100. As it is, I almost never see spam come through that actually has
more then 1 recepient on it - so I'm not too concerned about this causing
problems in the future.
