[Mailman-Users] Mail looping between two mailman lists' request addresses
It looks like a spammer sent a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In any case, the result was each -request bot mailing the other repeatedly with error messages. How should I prevent this from recurring ? (I posted a similar message yesterday but it got caught by the 40K maximum message size limit and the moderator doesn't seem to have approved it.

[Mailman-Users] Feature Query...
Hi, About a week back I had posted a query about configuring Mailman to co-exist with QMAIL. I got a few answers and finally took the easy option of setting up a virtualdomain under QMAIL. Now things are working fine. I have another issue: We have a majordomo setup. There we have a list where most of the list members can not post. The posting rights are with a designated few (who may or may not be subscribing to the list). All the rest are simply recipients. How can I implement such a thing under Mailman scheme ? Hoping to get some useful tips. Regards. -- ajit |-| | Ajit K.

Right, if the ISP is offering Mailman as a 'canned' service *AND* you're not allowed to install your own copy and use that instead, then you can't install any patches. The good news is that even if the Mailman authors were to decide to make the List-* headers a per-list option in 2.1 (which they won't), you'd probably have no luck convincing the ISP to upgrade anyway. Sometimes an ISP will offer Mailman as an installable software option via checkbox on your web-based server configurator etc... but actually you could install your own copy if you wanted to. In that case, install it yourself and patch away. Personally, I wouldn't run Mailman somewhere I hadn't installed it.

[Mailman-Users] Setting up an announce only list
Greetings! I'm new to Mailman and I've read the various documentation, FAQ's and scanned the archives, but I don't see a definitive answer to setting up an announce only type list. I can't quite come up with the solution I want, and perhaps there isn't with this version. Ideally what I'd like is this: When members (or anyone) try to send to the list, they receive the message back in the autoresponse_postings_text variable but *NOT* the short message indicating that the post is being held pending administrative approval (as it won't ever get approved). In this case, the list administrator would only need select discard from the tend to pending administrative tasks page instead of having to word a reply for each posting. Unfortunately setting Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval? to no also seems to disable the autorespond text. Setting the above to yes then sends *both* messages - the short one indicating the message is being held for approval and the autorespond text. The problem is the messages conflict - one says the message is being held for approval and the other says no posts to this list are allowed. Another possible solution would be to change the short message to indicate no posts are allowed, but I don't see any method of doing so from the web interface. Is there a way? I'd also like to change the Welcome to the list e-mail text, is there a way to do this - other than just adding additional text? If anyone has a better method for setting up an announce only list, I'm all eyes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Setting up an announce only list
All that you ask is easily done with a little scripting... You'll need to turn off Send mail to poster when posting is held. Then write a script that looks at the held messages for the specified list in ~mailman/data/.. grep for the first occurence of From: and isolate the senders email address Send back a canned message: mail -s You are not authorized to post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] $FROM ~mailman/lists/listname/canned_message.txt Put the script in your mailman crontab and let it execute hourly (at 59 minutes past the hour). Make sure the list is setup so that only an elite few can automagically post to it... Voila! Exactly what you want. Oh, BTW, delete the held message after you respond to it, and (look in the FAQ for more details) copy a saved/empty request.db over the current one for the list - so that you won't get annoying messages about a pending request. Work on it for awhile, and let me know if you have any problems. I'm happy to help. Jon Carnes --- Original Message: Tuesday 09 April 2002 06:29 pm --- Greetings! I'm new to Mailman and I've read the various documentation, FAQ's and scanned the archives, but I don't see a definitive answer to setting up an announce only type list. I can't quite come up with the solution I want, and perhaps there isn't with this version. Ideally what I'd like is this: When members (or anyone) try to send to the list, they receive the message back in the autoresponse_postings_text variable but *NOT* the short message indicating that the post is being held pending administrative approval (as it won't ever get approved). In this case, the list administrator would only need select discard from the tend to pending administrative tasks page instead of having to word a reply for each posting. Unfortunately setting Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval? to no also seems to disable the autorespond text. Setting the above to yes then sends *both* messages - the short one indicating the message is being held for approval and the autorespond text. The problem is the messages conflict - one says the message is being held for approval and the other says no posts to this list are allowed. Another possible solution would be to change the short message to indicate no posts are allowed, but I don't see any method of doing so from the web interface. Is there a way? I'd also like to change the Welcome to the list e-mail text, is there a way to do this - other than just adding additional text? If anyone has a better method for setting up an announce only list, I'm all eyes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] problems with cgi-gid and mail-gid
We downloaded and compiled mailman-2.0.8 on solaris 2.7 . The installation was done on mail server running solaris2.7. We tried to configure our web server (also solaris 2.7) to get the gui interface for mailman , using nfs mount disk from mail server onto web server. We have the cgi-gid on our web server different from gid of the daemon that runs mail on mail server. So , we recompiled all the soft with --with-cgi-gid=88891 and --with-mail-gid=88891. Everything looked OK and we got giu interface of the first mailing list. But when we try to post a message to the mailing lits we get the following error: .The following address had permanent fatal errors |/export/mailman/mail/wrapper post wicclist .Transcript of session follows ... Failure to exec script WANTED gid 88891 GOT gid 1.(reconfigure to take 1?) 554 5.3.0 |/export/mailman/mail/wrapper post wicclist ... unknown mailer error 2. How can we compile mailman to use wrapper in both gid's.

[Mailman-Users] Reading email attachments
Thank you for your assistance. I have two questions I was hoping you could answer: 1) The Mailman features listed at http://www.list.org/features.html indicate that it supports Automatic web-based Hypermail-style archiving. However our Mailman doesn't allow attachments such as .pdf and .doc files to be readable because the raw hex is embedded into the email message, whereas our hypermail archive does. Is there a way to make the attachments readable in the Mailman archive? Without them readable, the archiving value is diminished. 2) Our archive displays the following at the bottom: This archive was generated by Pipermail 0.05 (Mailman edition). Is this the true Mailman, or a variation? Is this why the attachments aren't readable?

[Mailman-Users] mailman
Hi! I have o small problem, and I hope you could help with it. Some days ago I installed mailman (version 2.0.9), all things work well, besides one. I have problemmes sending mail to users outside our network. (it has nothing to do with our firewall). It seems that SMTP is parsing all emails. It takes the part left to @ (username), and adds it to our domain. It looks like this: my email is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I register to one of the maillinglists, them this happens to my email. [EMAIL PROTECTED] , a 'localdomain.com' is added insted off my original. I think that there is something wrong with the sendmail configuration, but I haven't yet found it.

[Mailman-Users] a few questions
Hi, I'm considering switching a list of around 9,000 subscribers to Mailman. Currently we are using eMerge and it's rather bad. I had a few questions, that I hoped you could answer: 1) How large can the mailing list be? Is 9,000 too large? If not, is there a way to tell Mailman not to send all the message all at once -- I am thinking about this so that it all doesn't get bounced back saying too many recipients. 2) Do the subscribers have to always confirm their subscription or can the list owner do this on their behalf? (I am thinking here about data-convertion, and also circumstances where people ask us to subscribe them for us because they can't.) 3) If so, can we do a bulk-add then? Does the web-interface allow this? 3) Lastly can it be made so that the subscribers cannot reply to the list? I believe this is called a closed list? (Our current list is one-way, so to speak, and we wanted it to remain this way.) I'd really appreciate it if you would be able to answer these questions for me. Thanks in advance.
