To simply make it work, perhaps not. To make it work well and be reliable... might be more difficult than you think. A large chunk of what a mail handler of any variety does is text processing, and there are significant differences in that area in Python2 vs Python3. E.g. ASCII vs Unicode. You'd likely be opening a Pandora's box of corner cases and workarounds when $STUPIDLY_FORMATTED_MAIL_MESSAGE_OF_THE_HOUR comes through. The effort would probably be better spent enhancing Mailman3, since that's the future of the project anyway. Also, as someone that's been a Mailman site admin on installs of various sizes for about the past 20 years, I'm sort of looking forward to the promises of some of the little quirks of Mailman2 getting some love. ;-) -- Greg Veldman free...@gregv.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
