[distcc] list filtering

Because of the enormous amount of traffic being generated by Windows
viruses[0] I have turned on Mailman attachment filtering on the
high-traffic samba.org lists.

Lists will now pass only text/plain MIME parts through to the list.
multipart/alternative messages with both text and html forms will have
the HTML form removed, and messages in only HTML will be squashed to
text.  Messages which cannot be handled in any of these ways will be
rejected.

To send patches or log files to the list, you need to either insert
them inline into your message, or make sure they're marked as
text/plain.  On most systems, just making the name be *.txt should be
sufficient.

I hope everybody's enjoying their SQL Server experience :-)
