To prevent getting lulled into a phishing scam, could you please confirm
the fingerprints of the self-signed SSL certificate that mailman is
running on?  :)

Bonus points if the fingerprint is in a mail that's digitally signed, so we
know the phisher isn't faking the mail....

Hand me some more tinfoil, will ya? :)

heh... nah, having John look at the cert and say "Yup, that's mine" is
enough of a trust-level for me. (On the other hand, if he says "Oh
shit!" then the verification step has served its purpose :)

Cheers,
Frank (who knows he's being watched ;)
