Bug Description
I got the who command to work emailing -request by having a blank subject line. If I used a subject line that was blank it worked.
The command info worked with info in the subject line.
cheers

To post a comment you must log in.
What exactly did you have in the subject and body?
For example, if the roster is limited to list members or the admin, the required command form is
who <password>
If you put just "who" in the subject and "who <password>" in the body, Mailman will first process the "who" command in the subject. Since it doesn't have an appropriate password, it fails and no more commands, including the valid command in the body, are processed.
The subject of an email to the -request address can be a command. If it doesn't begin with a valid command word, it is ignored, but if it does begin with a valid command word, but the full subject is not a valid command, it is an error and no further commands will be processed.
