Apparently it had something to do with hypermail ignoring everything from spam.config since it still used the old syntax "set foo = bar". Thus fixed now. ID01 [setup.c]

The entire patch will follow.

There should be no newline here, patch included. ID05

This has been fixed as well. Additionally I've re-patched hypermail to accept a pseudo header "*" that will result in hypermail print all header lines without specifying every possible header name. ID03 [print.c]

Btw. When writing documentation it makes the text more readable if you would use two spaces after a fullstop. This affects the manpages e.g. In fact, nroff adds two spaces if the fullstop is at the end of a line and thus gets detected by roff. Could you change this?

I also found a patch entitled with:

• Paranoia path from Bart Warmerdam (closes: Bug#37042)

I'm not quite sure what the reason for this was... ID06

The entire patch is enclosed as attachement. You'll need to remove all the ">>>>" lines since they just identify the patch with the text above.
