Warning: newbie admin question incoming.
I am running Mailman 2.1 and Sendmail with RedHat 8.0. I have my sendmail
simply configured to refuse relay for anything but local host deliveries.
i.e., people logged into Squirrel Mail can send, but I have no SMTP auth
or SMTP after POP set or
Hi!
We have the following problem: We have delegated lists to admins
on-campus. One of these lists is 3.000 memebers large. Since we don't
want anybody to send HUGE attachments to this list, we have a size
limit in place.
Unfortunately idiot-admin-from-hell approved the large mail anyway.

I realized recently that the accoutn I was sending mailman's cron
output to was not actually checking mail.
So, after I checked I saw tons (like several hundred a day) of this:
Subject: Cron mailman@syth /usr/bin/python -S
/Users/mailman/cron/gate_news
Traceback (most recent call last):
Hello.
mailman-2.0.13-3mdk
postfix-1.1.11-4mdk
kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk
All installed via RPM using an updated Mandrake-Linux 9.0 distribution.
From the syslog, it seems that postfix is accepting a message and doing
the right thing with it:

Ok, nice discussion..:-)
My conclusion so far: upgrade to 2.1 and use the add_virtualhost in mm_cfg.py.
Does this also mean that you can use the same listname for different virtual
domains? (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Hi All,
I'm helping someone manage a Mailman list.
The problem we are having is that when a user
sends a multipart message (text/plain and text/html)
_both_ parts appear in the digest form.
The HTML is in _raw_ form as well which is
rather ugly looking and a chore to pass over

FWIW, DNS packets (request and response) are quite small. Obviously
being on the same box is ideal (speedwise), however being on your subnet
or an adjoining subnet probably won't make much of a noticeable
difference (unless your adjoining network is through a 56k modem or
something like that). I
