 Easy to do from the web interface.  Go to: 
http://yoursite.tdl/mailman/admin/listname/privacy/sender .  You have two 
options.  To open only to certain users, add their e-mail addresses to the 
List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically 
accepted text area (you can also use a regular expression to allow anyone 
from one or more domains).  To open the list to anyone go to the bottom of 
the page and select Accept for
Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action 
is defined.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Announce Only

2004-04-17 Thread Paul Reilly

 There's more than one way to do it ...

I know of the 3 ways to do it.
But they all seem a bit around a 'bout.
Why can't there just be a open/closed radio preference?

 Then don't let them use python regular expressions. :)

I don't.
But it generates support questions.

  Also how do you turn off the Create new List via webpage ?
  Why should one want to do it?
 Sure. But it does not hurt, does it?

Well people click it, (thinking thats the way to create a new list),
get an error, and then think it's not working, so call our helpdesk
saying there's an error. Even though there's not. There's just no way
to turn off this 'feature' if you don't use it. (except by going backwards
to an older version of Mailman, or by using another MLM).

 Ah, so what you need it to remove the LINK to the create new list 
page.  That's pretty trivial - just edit 
/prefix/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py .  Find and remove:

If you have the proper authority, you can also a 
href=%(creatorurl)screate a new mailing list/a.

 Save, restart, and your life will be so much easier!

[Mailman-Users] Restricting access to listinfo

2004-04-17 Thread Colin Rowat
Dear list members,

I would like to set up a mailing list with higher than normal privacy
levels.  In particular, I would prefer the list description usually
found on listinfo not to be in the public domain.  Two options occur to
me:

1. place a minimal version of listinfo in the public domain so that only
those looking for it find it.  In this case, I would like information on
the list, and its code of conduct, to be agreed to by would-be
subscribers.  This seems to involve editing the subscription
confirmation e-mail.  Is this possible?  If so, I would appreciate
guidance on how to do so.  (I assume that editting the monthly
subscription notice is similar.)

2. password protect listinfo and handle subscribe requests manually.  In
this case, I would like the password used to gain access to the listinfo
page to be the same as that for the account.  Is this possible?  If so,
guidance again appreciated.

n.b. this list contained a short correspondence on this topic in
February 2000.

Thank you in advance,

Colin Rowat

 I believe this shows that an A Record is not set up correctly for me. Is
 this something I am to do on my system? or is this something my ISP sets
 up on their hardware to point to my machine?

The name servers registered for your domain are
   Name Server: NS2.INTEGRAONLINE.COM
   Name Server: NS.INTEGRAONLINE.COM
so integraonline.com would be the people you would contact.  The headers in
your message reveal that they are you ISP, so yes, you need to contact them.

They are publishing DNS for sanchiro.com, with the reverse lookup being
reasonable:
# host sanchiro.com
sanchiro.com has address 64.122.114.148
# host 64.122.114.148
148.114.122.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail.sanchiro.com.
# host mail.sanchiro.com
mail.sanchiro.com has address 64.122.114.148

They also have a nice MX record for you:
# host -tmx sanchiro.com
sanchiro.com mail is handled by 10 mail.sanchiro.com.


It is likely that you can get them to add the scott.sanchiro.com address,
but of course I don't know their policy.  They are better at this than many
providers whose handiwork I've encountered...it appears that you selected
well.

[Mailman-Users] mailman postfix configuration errors

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There IS one. It is called emergency moderation of all list traffic.
