Ok. I made a quick fix to our mailer.py by making the script
ignore all matches that does not belong to a named group, i.e:

--- mailer.py.old 2007-09-25 17:15:57.000000000 +0200
+++ mailer.py 2008-09-05 17:21:20.000000000 +0200

----------------------

I'm not sure if this change is too much of a blunt axe or the
proper thing to do.

It could be a good idea to delay opening the pipe to sendmail
until the entire message has been built in a string/list/file
and add an "except all" (??? is there an equivalent to catch(...)
in Python?) to get a proper diagnostic message into the mail.
