The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

You were right Dirk, it was queue.c's fault because the algorithm for 
detecting the "From " line was buggy.
It has now been fixed in both stable and development versions of Sympa. 
We've also fixed bouncequeue.c and familyqueue.c that have code similar 
to queue.c.

Here is the patch for queue.c :

Thanks for elucidating this problem.
