Re: Non-english character sets and moderated lists

What have you done to troubleshoot this, ie. identify majordomo as the
problem?  What is your MTA, and version?  What version of majordomo are
you running?  What modifications/patches have been applied?  Is your
MTA configured to allow non-ASCII characters? 

Typically, majordomo could care less what is in the "BODY" of a message.

Is your global "majordomo.cf" catching "TABOO" regular expressions?  Is
the problem specific to one list, or all your lists?  Have you tried to
send a message with foreign characters to another list to be certain it
is not a configuration issue?

Tell us more so we can help you more.
