[Mailman-Users] People in UK

2005-09-21 Thread Albrecht Marignoni
Hi,

are there any people from UK on this list who
can help me building applications with Mailman
for the orthoPoint website ?

You will be paid for your work.

I am on the move to Liverpool and my own
company will be based in London at the end of
this year.

My college and I looking for people who are be
able to help us building a discussion list based 
community with Mailman and Drupal.

Thank you in advance.

is not specifically about hotmail, but is generally applicable to any 
large-scale mail provider.


It is useful to try to gather more information on this problem 
from other list administrators.  However, please keep in mind that, 
even if you do discover that there is some sort of major problem 
(either wide-spread, or specific to your site), there may be little 
or nothing you can do about it.

Here is the text of the emails.  They are pushing the BondedSender like crazy   
- especially since I received an email direct from BondedSender. 
 at the address I only used with this ticket to hotmail. 

An awful lot of passing the buck and saying the same thing over and over  
again. 

 


I am very sorry, but we are not able to discuss the details of the 
filtering strategies or specific filters which MSN Hotmail utilizes in 
order to combat unwanted e-mail.  Our filters are highly confidential and 
discussion of the specific filter rules would eventually render them 
useless for all of our Hotmail mailbox owners. 

For information on common delivery questions please refer to the Hotmail 
Postmaster Site found at: http://postmaster.msn.com/.  MSN Hotmail has 
also created the Smart Network Data Services program.  This is a service 
that helps legitimate email senders work with their customers and partners

My emails are getting blocked by you again.  I do not understand what is 
going on.  These are the same clients, the same lists - with almost no 
changes and you are changing what is going on.  I have been sending this 
same way for over 18 months now with the same type emails.  The only 
people that have added themselves have done so through the websites, with 
confirmed opt-in.  

I have only sent three of my lists and I usually have seven on Tuesdays 
without any problems.  I would really appreciate getting this solved, 
especially since there has not been any changes at my end.  There seems to 
be no reason or logic as to what is going on and are mutual users are getting

 Hi Lloyd, 
  
 I(tm)ll try to answer as much as I can for you: 
  
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] is able to receive messages that might 
otherwise be blocked by  
 BrightMail, but the final destination (Inbox or JMF) is still a 
function of our filtering. Since the  
 account does not maintain a Domain Safe List, it isn(tm)t uncommon for 
test messages to end up in  
 JMF. 
  
 I can(tm)t offer help with Symantec since they are a different company 
with different policies. Usually,  
 they will tell you if they are filtering your emails, but that is up 
to them. 
  
 Sender ID is a helpful program, but not necessary for your purposes. 
  
 The Junk Mail Reporting program is a helpful addition to SNDS since it 
will provide additional details  
 for youthis is a particularly effective way of cleaning up mailing 
lists. The program does require  
 that you have a company website, that you provide the JMRPP with an 
official Point of Contact, and  
 that your site has an opt-out link or visible opt-out process. If you 
are interested in enrolling, please  
 provide the details required (or information on how to find those 
details) and we will forward your  
 request to the JMRPP team: Once approved, they will contact you with 
further information. 
  
 The benefit of Bonded Sender is that it allows you to bypass our 
filters (including BrightMail) and  
 deliver your messages directly into your recipient(tm)s Inbox. On rare 
occasion an error occurs and a  
 message will be routed to JMF. When that happens we ask that you 
contact us ASAP so that we  
 can rectify that issue. Microsoft and Return Path have a very good 
working relationship and we are  
 able to resolve these rare instances quickly. For more details, 
however, I would have to refer you to

You can certainly try their SNDS system, and try to follow 
whatever guidelines they have at their postmaster website.  As far as 
that goes, it doesn't sound significantly different from what AOL 
does.

However, at some point it sounds to me like you will probably 
need to decide how much you want your e-mail to get through their 
filters.  If you want it badly enough, then you will probably pay to 
use their bonded sender program.  Otherwise, you may be forced to 
eliminate all hotmail users from your lists, or at least live with 
the fact that most mail from you to hotmail is going to be blocked or 
dropped.


Good luck!  If you find out anything that you think may be of 
interest to the broader mail list admin community, please let us know.

[Mailman-Users] adding new members with their fullnames via command line

2005-09-21 Thread lkolchin
Hello All,
 
I'd like to move lists from an old machine (Solaris 8) to new one (SLES 9) with 
all their corresponding members.
 
I'm creating new list (on my new server) with newlist command.
 
To see the members of the list with their full names I run (on the old machine):
# ./list_members -f listname
 
I got this kind of members list:
firstname1 lastname1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
firstname2 lastname2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
..
 
Is there syntax to add members with add_members or another command, so I 
could directly add them to new list with their full names?

I would turn the problem around. Tell the hotmail users that hotmail is 
blocking their list mail, and they should contact hotmail and tell them to 
stop blocking their legit mail.

Or, if it's not a business list, tell hotmail users they need to use a 
different address and move on.  Send them all a gmail invite while you're at 
it.

[Mailman-Users] bandwidth monitoring per list

Is there a tool I could use, or a way inside mailman itself, to monitor

Your previous was seen, but perhaps it was not answered because it's not
clear what you're asking. If you could provide some further explanation
it would help. Mailman has no direct support for password protecting an
email. Mailman is only in the business of being a relay, taking a
message from you and redistributing to members of the list. For the most
part mailman cares very little about the content of the email and has no
password protection of email receipt and delivery. On the other hand
there are a variety of schemes by which a sender of email can digitally
sign and/or encrypt an email, but all of those schemes are local to the
sender and receiver and embedded in the content of the mail, mailman as
a distributor of messages is ignorant of them.

[Mailman-Users] Monthly password reminders not working

2005-09-21 Thread Darren G Pifer
Hello,

  I thought this was working when we moved to Mailman 2.1.6b4
in June, (I could be wrong) but the monthly password reminder
is not working. I, and a colleague, have tried to manually
test the script for a single list but it is not working. The
script that runs out of mailman's cron is:

# 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders.
0 5 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr1/mailman/mailman/cron/mailpasswds

  I tried testing with:

$ pwd
/usr1/mailman/mailman/cron

$ runas -u mailman ./mailpasswds -l testlist

  It just exits. Nothing in the mail or mailman logs.

  Other details: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3

  Any suggestions?

Have you verified that the list has its password reminder flag set to

reminders is enabled for at least some members of the list?

 Or, if it's not a business list, tell hotmail users they need to use a 
 different address and move on.  Send them all a gmail invite while you're at 
 it.

That's what I recommend too.  Your list subscribers are not getting 
their list email because Hotmail is being unreasonable.  Instead of 
expecting you to jump thru hoops for Hotmail, it's perfectly reasonable 
for you to put the shoe on the other foot and tell them to use a 
different email provider that has more reasonable policies.  When 
Hotmail finds that they are losing users by droves they will stop 
expecting all legitimate senders to jump thru these unreasonable hoops.

The 'Net treats censorship as damage and routes around it.  (John 
Gilmore)  In this case, the censorship is a side effect of Hotmail's 
Bonded Sender program being badly implemented (saying that your mail 
server can only speak to their mail server if it participates in 
Bonded Sender) and rejecting legitimate email.  Route around it by 
assisting your Hotmail users in getting another email account.

That answer is 'Yes' to both questions.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman/PHP/Digest Issue

2005-09-21 Thread Neal Berwick
Hey All,
 My apologies in advance if I'm directing this to the wrong location, but
I'm about out of ideas. I recently built a small PHP web form to allow
individuals to send email updates to our various mailman lists. Everything
works quite nicely for non-digest users, but when I tried to configure the
script for digest users, things started to get weird.
 Initially, no matter how many emails I dispatched using the form, the
Mailman digest always listed a single topic. In the MIME digest it attached
a single message (the first message sent to the list) and in plaintext it
appended all the messages sent to the list but still listed as a single
message. The headers where all subsequent messages were to start seemed
pretty messed up. So I decided to play with the headers a bit and added the
line in the php:
 $headers .= X-Mailer: PHP/ . phpversion() . \n;
 After that change all digests calculated the number of messages correctly
and displayed the headers accurately. Unfortunately, though every thing
looks good in digest/plaintext, digest/MIME was acting up. When a MIME
digest was received in Outlook, the messages were not attached to the
digest. Yet when I sent to a gmail account they appeared below as forwarded
messages. Now if I forsake the php form and send MIME email from outlook to
the list Outlook correctly creates a multipart/alternative email and the
MIME/digest contains appropriate attachments for all messages.
 Below I list the headers that I'm setting in php, the relevant sections of
the plaintext digest with incorrectly counted messages/topics and finally
the relevant sections of the plaintext digest with the correct message
count.
 Thanks in advance to anyone who has any thoughts
 php:

$boundary='--' . md5( uniqid(IsNealAGenius) );
$headers = From: \Home Office\  . $from. \n;
$headers .= Mime-Version: 1.0\n;
$headers .= Content-type: multipart/alternative;\n boundary=\$boundary\\n

Well, if it were me I'd edit the script and throw in a few print
statements in a few judicious places to track what it was or wasn't
doing since you're not getting any info in the logs.

Python print statements are pretty easy, in its simplest form:

print value1=%s value2=%s % (value1, value2)

each %s is replaced by the matching value inside the parens, just make
sure the indentation of the print statement lines up.

[Mailman-Users] Message body getting cut off -- Header only

2005-09-21 Thread Nelson Pitlor
I'm sorry to bother everyone, but is there any way you might be able to
help?
 
Whenever I receive email on my desktop, everything is fine.  The issue is on
my PocketPC.
 
Some (but not all...) of the emails I receive come in blank... EXCEPT for
the common header (I believe that it is generated by your software).  If I
retrieve the same message on my desktop, the message reads fine.
 
I would say it's an issue with my PPC, but the fact that only a few come in
with this problem (and ALWAYS from the same senders), and I AM receiving and
am able to see the header, I'm not sure.
 
Has anyone else mentioned this problem?
 
Thank you for your help.
 
-Nelson

Re: [Mailman-Users] Hotmail Delivery Problems

2005-09-21 Thread Lloyd F. Tennison
Since I do webhosting the SNDS system uses SPF, and SPF does not work 
if you do mail forwarding.  Mail gets denied and end up stuck in my mail 
queue.  The only way is to repackage the email (per SPF website) but then if I 
forward a repackaged piece of SPAM, it looks now like it came from me. and I 
get blamed!  That's why SPF cannot work in this design - or it seems in any 
webhosting scenario.

   You can certainly try their SNDS system, and try to follow 
 whatever guidelines they have at their postmaster website.  As far as 
 that goes, it doesn't sound significantly different from what AOL 
 does.
 
   However, at some point it sounds to me like you will probably 
 need to decide how much you want your e-mail to get through their 
 filters.  If you want it badly enough, then you will probably pay to 
 use their bonded sender program.  Otherwise, you may be forced to 
 eliminate all hotmail users from your lists, or at least live with 
 the fact that most mail from you to hotmail is going to be blocked or 
 dropped.
 
 
   Good luck!  If you find out anything that you think may be of 
 interest to the broader mail list admin community, please let us know.

[Mailman-Users] subscription via -request

2005-09-21 Thread Jim Savoy

Hi all,

  I was wondering if there is a way to silently subscribe people to a
list via the -request command processor (ie sending email commands to
listname-request)?

   If I send the command:

subscribe password nodigest [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it works fine, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] is then sent a message asking 
that she
confirm the subscription by clicking a link. Our users are confused 
enough as it
is, and we would like to avoid this step. I realize that the 
confirmation step was
created to prevent any old yahoo from subscribing people to lists 
without their
consent, but how would any old yahoo know what the list password is? Seems
like an unnecessary extra layer of protection.

We are running Mailman 2.1.5.  Thanks!

 - jim -

PS I realize that we can silently subscribe people via the GUI and the 
command
  line, but we wish to do it via email and -request processor only.
