[Mailman-Users] Mailman functioning (writes)
I was asked how mailman handles I/O from the web page - is it via direct writes, direct open of configs - or is the process proxied somehow, etc. Thanks. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Sanitizer settings
So I'm still not sure why SANITIZER doesn't seem to have any effect. All I want is for list messages not to have HTML attachments every time they include a bit of formatting. Is my method below wrong? Is there another way to achieve this?

[Mailman-Users] change digest/non-digest frequency
Hello, I'm setting up Mailman on a new XServe. There are a few things I haven't found in the documentation: -Is it possible (and how would I) change the frequency of digest and non-digest mail delivery? For example, it would be handy to be able to set a list to send a digest of all unsent mail at the same time each week on a Friday. (Allow the boss to keep up to date with mail to a list without causing frequent interruptions.) It would also be useful for Mailman to queue non-digest mail on a daily basis and send it out between 12 and 2pm. (Using mailman as interface to help desk with limited hours). I'm pretty familiar with *nix, but new to specific system admin tasks. My apologies if this was easily found elsewhere!

Yep, disabling the footer fixes the issue (although we're then left without a footer). Interesting FAQ.

[Mailman-Users] remove_members returns no success output

When there is an unsuccessful remove such as an invalid or non-existent email address I can get the output. But when an email address is successfully removed there is no output from this command. When I do the same through the web interface I can see the output as expected.

[Mailman-Users] Messages moderated from port 2525
I apologize if this discussed elsewhere, I didn't find it. My domain host (http://www.siteground.com) runs mailman 2.1.5p1. I have a mailing list setup for my church for general news. The pastor and secretary are authorized to post. All others are moderated. This setup ran fine through my ISP, DSL via SBC, until SBC decided to start blocking port 25. At that time all mail needed to be sent with their signon/password for outgoing mail. When that happened, both the secretary and pastor postings became moderated. I have to intervene to allow the posts to proceed. In talking with my domain provider about this, they suggested that I send outgoing emails using port 2525 direct via them. While this works to allow mail going out without SBC blocking it, mailman is still moderating all postings. Siteground.com has tried a multitude of things (I don't know what) but nothing seems to work. I have browsed the email internet headers (not knowing what I'm looking for) and nothing seems out of the ordinary to me. No mention of SBC or the funky port. Is this a known problem? Is there a work around shy of dumping SBC's DSL service? Thanks.

Does it really matter when it is *delivered*? Your mail server should be able to collect the mail even if the helpdesk user wasn't available. (You might be able to have your MTA freeze certain messages in its queue, and thaw them for delivery at certain times. An Exim system filter could do that for you for example.

[Mailman-Users] bounce processing on seldom-used list
Hello, We've just started digging into mailman a bit more here. Very happy with it so far... A list owner brought up a good question today. I was telling him how this is better than a long bcc: list in Outlook and one thing that I like about any modern mailing list software is that it handles bounces for you. But this situation was kind of unique... It's a large list, but it does not get used more than 5 or 6 times a year. The list owner would like to know when someone is bouncing, but right after the first bounce. Is there any way to do that? I didn't see too much about bounce processing in the FAQ, but it seems like it's built around lists that see traffic more often than a few times a year... Any suggestions on how to hack in even some basic here's a list of people that bounced on this mailing for this list functionality? Even something outside of mailman itself?
