Odd. I don't think I check the signature anywhere, at least not
directly. Best advice is to run all pushes on Centos6 I guess. 

We're still on 5 here so I must admit this aspect of the script is
somewhat untested.

should be to the constant MessageMailArchive.MAILARCHIVE_BASE rather
than the string literal.
