Sendmail mailer in Python

[ppsys]

This patch provide a Python implementation (with C
wrapper) of a Sendmail mailer, if Sendmail is your MTA
of choice, which removes the necessity of maintining an
aliases database on your Mailman server. All subject to
a bunch of conditions most prominent of which is that
the server has to be pretty much dedicated to MM.

This patch draws on an original contribution by David
Champion <email address hidden> which is included in
the contrib directory of the Mailman 2.1b distribution as
mm-handler.

See the README.SENDMAIL.mailer installed by this
patch for differences between this and David's Perl
original and more information of what you are getting into
if you use this patch.

Versions of the patch for MM 2.0.13 and MM 2.1b5 are
available.

This patch requires patch 644797 to be installed before
it.

mailer-2.1b6-0.1.patch is MM 2.1b6 compatible. It also folds
the case of listname and servername for compaiblity with
MMs naive belief that listnames are case all lower case.

the mm_mailer script in mailer-2.1-0.2.patch now handles
VERP'ed return addresses in bounced mail which I missed in
the original implementation

mailer-2.1-0.3.patch and mailer-2.0.13-0.4.patch have VERP
handling added and a new feature to rejct delivery of mail to
existing lists by adding the lists names to a
SUSPENDED_LISTS dictionary variable defined in
mm_cfg.py. This is equivalent to deleting list aliases from the
aliases file, while leaving the list itself in place, in a
conventional sendmail configuration.
