[Mailman-Users] Block attachments before testing for non-member

2004-08-31 Thread Ed Greenberg
Many things show up as mail from non-member which contain nothing but a 
forbidden attachment. Can we run through the content filter BEFORE testing 
for membership so that this cr*p just gets discarded?

Thanks,

[Mailman-Users] Investigating Bounces

2004-08-23 Thread Ed Greenberg
I have several list owners with large lists.  They get a bunch of bounces 
each time they mail. Occasionally, they get lots more bounces than they 
expect.

Is there any way to get Mailman to save the reason for the bounce?
The bounce log contains only the list name, email address and the bounce 
score. I can infer whether the bounce was hard or soft by whether the score 
increased by 1.0 or 0.5. There is no way to tell if the bounce was mailbox 
full or no such user or perhaps horrors my SMTP server was refused 
because it's become blacklisted somewhere.  It's not even possible to tell 
if the bounce came from the distant SMTP server or my local one.

How do others deal with this situation?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Code for allowing web-based delete and create lists

2004-06-27 Thread Ed Greenberg
I just went through this...
Mailman allows for creation of lists by going to 
http://webaddress/mailman/create

If you enable the proper variable, you can delete a list from it's admin 
page.

For postfix, there is some good integration between mailman and postfix.
Note that for sendmail, you need to do a manual process to enable the list 
addresses in the alias file.   There is an automation in the contrib 
directory which permits the integration you would expect, but it has 
several caveats. Read carefully.

I recently did a hack to give postfix-style automation to the 
mailman/sendmail interface and posted a procedure here, requesting 
feedback. Didn't get any, so I'm not sure if it's got serious problems. I 
don't create lists very often, but it works for me and for one customer for 
whom I installed it.  Check the archives for a posting called Please 
review this procedure for sendmail integration which was posted on 
6/19/2004.

[Mailman-Users] Please review this procedure for sendmail integration

2004-06-23 Thread Ed Greenberg
Since many people cannot use David Champion's mm-handler due to shared use 
of domains, I've worked this up. I'd appreciate some constructive comments, 
yea or nay, on this procedure.

Using the postfix MTA functionality to do automatic sendmail alias handling
---
In order to add a list to mailman on a sendmail based system, you need to
add a bunch of aliases for that list to the alias file. In this 
customization,
we implement a second alias file and teach sendmail about it.

We use a mailman feature that was designed for the postfix mail program - a 
replacement for sendmail.  This feature creates /home/mailman/data/aliases

1. We have a script that will copy the alias file and then process it. We 
need to do this
since sendmail doesn't like alias files to be in directories that don't 
meet very
specific permission requirements.  /home/mailman/data doesn't meet this 
requirement. Our script will copy the alias file from /home/mailman/data to 
/etc. It uses a different name in order not to clash with the existing 
/etc/aliases

Create /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases with these commands:
/bin/cp /home/mailman/data/aliases /etc/mailman.aliases
/usr/bin/newaliases
2. We have to tell mailman that it is using postfix. We lie.
Add these to mm_cfg.py:
MTA='Postfix'
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = []
3. We have to tell sendmail about the new alias file.
in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc find this line:
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases')dnl
and change it to:
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/etc/mailman.aliases')dnl
Run a make (or otherwise refresh sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail
Now when we run newaliases, it will rebuild both alias files.
4. We need permission for apache and mailman to run our script from step 1.
In the /etc/sudoers file (use the command /usr/sbin/visudo) we need two 
lines:
apache ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases
mailman ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases

Note that your web server may not run as 'apache' It may run as 'www' or 
'nobody'.
Whatever it runs as is what you need where it says apache.

5. As mailman, run /home/mailman/bin/genaliases
Check for a file /home/mailman/data/aliases and
also TWO files /etc/mailman.aliases and /etc/mailman.aliases.db
6. Test creating a list using /home/mailman/bin/newlist
Check for the appearance of aliases for that list in /etc/mailman.aliases
Add some users and test the list
7. Test for creating a list using http://domain.com/mailman/create
Check for the appearance of aliases for that list in /etc/mailman.aliases
Add some users and test the list

Nope.  There's no option for this now that I know of.  Rod's technique

4.  Also if the email is bad it would be nice if it would not add it to

Would mailman be able to accommodate the above?
Mailman has a program called sync_members that will do exactly what you
require. You could get clever and automate the CRM extraction to the same
file  every time, conveniently placed on a share accessible to mailman.
Then set-up a crontab job to sync that file with the mailman database. It
will  remove mailman users that don't appear on the list and add new ones
accordingly.
Should work to the tee.

Re: [Mailman-Users] True anonymous list?

2004-05-09 Thread Ed Greenberg
You could deliver the mail to a script that extracts the subject and body 
and then reposts it to the list, coming from a generic user.

If you want to restrict posting to members, you could look up the actual 
from address in the list before forwarding the post.

Would that meet your needs?

[Mailman-Users] Messed up list, want to transfer the users

2003-02-09 Thread Ed Greenberg
I have a messed up list and I can't figure out how it got messed up, but it 
is. The symptom is that messages held for moderation are being lost, and 
the list is sending uncaught bounces with the admin messages in them.

I've been over the permissions, the settings, the contents of config.db, 
all to no avail. I've posted here, also to no avail.

What I'd like to do is to delete the list and recreate it, then add the 
users back. I can extract a list of users and re-add them, but I cannot 
figure out how to save their settings (such as digest and nomail).

Is this possible, or should I just tell them that their options are going 
to be lost.

The easy way would be to tell them all options will be lost.  But if you
want a bit more work, you could save that info.  Just will take a few
extra steps.  You didn't say which mailman you use, which only means the
-f option won't be availiable on mailman 2.0.x (which is to preserve the
full name), so this information is based on mailman 2.0.13

This gives you all the regular (non-digest) members in a file called
regular.members
# bin/list_members -rpo regular.members LISTNAME

This will put the digest members in digest.members
# bin/list_members -dpo digest.members LISTNAME

If your using mailman 2.1 then you can get the nomail users
# bin/list_members -npo nomail.members LISTNAME

Then you can readd them using bin/add_members  And I'll give you mailman
2.1.1 examples since now would be a good time to upgrade if your redoing
the list.  Highly recommended upgrading to 2.1.1

# bin/add_members -r regular.members LISTNAME
# bin/add_members -d digest.members LISTNAME

And you can do what you wish with the nomail people.

Has anybody been down this path, and how did you get the command line

Documentation states that I can use --with-python to control the actual
mailman operation, but that the command line scripts will always use the
first python on the path. Both python and python2  live in /usr/bin.


This is the key ... add '--with-python=/usr/bin/python2' to the configure
command line.  Then 'make clean  make  make install'.

Works. The scripts even find the python2 executiable, just fine. The doc 
intimated that the command line scripts wouldn't run.

Well, off to configure...

Thanks,

Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL subscriber bounces

2003-01-08 Thread Ed Greenberg

I have this problem too, though it's not severe, and frankly, the guy being 
blocked is moderately awful, so would be pretty bad to a less insensitive 
person than myself :)

I prefer that they can block each other, since it keeps them from 
responding to each other and flaming. I also would rather though that the 
sender got the bounce, so that he would know he was being dissed :)

So I'm also interested in the answer. Currently running 2.0.?? but 
migrating to 2.1 as we speak :)

If it was my list, I would just write the AOL users and ask them to
remove the block, and if they don't you'll have to unsubscribe them.

[Mailman-Users] Posting from a web form

2002-04-09 Thread Ed Greenberg

Is there a way to implement posting from a web form (for list members 
authenticated with their passwords)?

Some of my members are asking for this.

The list is an Recreational Vehicles list, and they want to read archives, 
and post message, from public Internet stations in cafes and libraries.

Has anybody done this?

Thanks,
/edg
